What is CVE-2021-47868?

WIN-PACK PRO 4.8 is susceptible to an unquoted service path vulnerability within the WPCommandFileService component. This flaw enables local users to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges due to the improper handling of the service path located in C:\Program Files (x86)\WINPAKPRO\WPCommandFileService Service.exe. If exploited, malicious actors could potentially leverage this oversight to inject harmful code that runs with LocalSystem permissions, posing a significant risk to system integrity.
