What is CVE-2020-11107?

A privilege escalation vulnerability is present in XAMPP versions prior to 7.2.29, 7.3.16, and 7.4.4 on Windows systems. An unprivileged user has the capability to modify the xampp-control.ini configuration file, potentially allowing unauthorized access to all users, including administrators. This manipulation can lead to arbitrary command execution, posing significant security risks for affected installations. It is crucial for users of XAMPP to update to the latest versions to mitigate this risk.
