What is CVE-2018-6183?

BitDefender Total Security 2018 suffers from a vulnerability due to insecurely created named pipes that allow local users to impersonate access permissions. This oversight grants full access to the 'Everyone' user group, potentially leading to unauthorized privilege escalation or denial of service attacks. Attackers exploiting this vulnerability can manipulate inter-process communications on the system, which may compromise the integrity and confidentiality of operations.
