What is CVE-2017-6186?

This vulnerability in Bitdefender's security products allows a local attacker to bypass self-protection measures and inject arbitrary code, potentially leading to full control of any Bitdefender process. The issue arises from the absence of the Protected Processes feature, which normally restricts local processes from modifying Image File Execution Options. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability using a method known as the 'DoubleAgent' attack, which involves temporarily renaming Image File Execution Options to evade detection and successfully execute malicious code.
