What is CVE-2020-13514?

The NZXT CAM software version 4.8.0 is susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability due to a flaw in the WinRing0x64 Driver's handling of Privileged I/O Write IRPs. With a specially crafted I/O request packet (IRP), low privilege users can gain unrestrained access to the OUT instruction at higher privilege levels. This vulnerability allows attackers to exploit the system by sending malicious IRPs, thereby compromising user permissions and potentially leading to unauthorized access.
