What is CVE-2021-44226?

Razer Synapse prior to version 3.7.0228.022817 is susceptible to local privilege escalation due to its reliance on specific paths within the program's directory structure. This vulnerability allows an unprivileged user who has access to the %PROGRAMDATA% folder before the software installation to place malicious DLLs, potentially leading to exploitation. If the folder %PROGRAMDATA%\Razer has been manipulated by an attacker, it can enable a Trojan horse DLL to be executed with elevated privileges, thereby compromising system security.
