What is CVE-2023-32163?

A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in Wacom Drivers for Windows due to a flaw in the Tablet Service. This security issue allows local attackers who have the ability to run low-privileged code on a target system to create symbolic links and exploit the service, thereby facilitating the unauthorized escalation of privileges. If successfully exploited, this could enable attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the highly privileged SYSTEM account, posing a significant risk to system security.
