Official Description

MicroWorld eScan Virus Control 9.0.722.1, Anti-Virus 9.0.722.1, and Internet Security 9.0.722.1 use weak permissions (Everyone:Full Control) for their installation directory trees, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing application files, as demonstrated by traysser.exe.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2007-4649 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-2007-4649. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
