7.2
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
AVG Anti-Virus plus Firewall 7.5.431 relies on the Process Environment Block (PEB) to identify a process, which allows local users to bypass the product's controls on a process by spoofing the (1) ImagePathName, (2) CommandLine, and (3) WindowTitle fields in the PEB.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2006-6619 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2006-6619. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
