What is CVE-2016-20088?

In Comodo's Chromodo Browser version 52.15.25.664, an unquoted service path vulnerability exists in the ChromodoUpdater service. This weakness allows local attackers to insert a malicious executable within the service path. As a result, when the service is restarted or the system is rebooted, the malicious code could be executed with elevated privileges. This makes the system susceptible to various security risks, as unauthorized code could potentially compromise the entire operating system.
