CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Panda Global Protection 2010, Internet Security 2010, and Antivirus Pro 2010 use weak permissions (Everyone: Full Control) for the product files, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing executables with Trojan horse programs.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2009-4215 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.
