Privilege Escalation Vulnerability in HTC VIVEPORT Software

CVE-2019-12177

What is CVE-2019-12177?

The HTC VIVEPORT application has a vulnerability that arises from insecure directory permissions in the ViveportDesktopService component. This flaw enables local attackers to exploit the system through DLL hijacking, allowing them to escalate their privileges. As a result, unauthorized users may gain access to sensitive system resources or perform actions that should be restricted to higher privilege accounts. Proper security measures should be taken to mitigate this risk, especially for users of VIVEPORT versions prior to 1.0.0.36.
