What is CVE-2020-15529?

The GOG Galaxy Client version 2.0.17 is susceptible to a local escalation of privileges vulnerability. This issue arises due to weak file permissions that can be exploited when a user either installs a game or conducts a verify/repair operation within the client. Attackers can leverage opportunistic locks to gain unauthorized access and elevate their privileges, potentially compromising system integrity and user data.
