Last modified
CVE-2020-10140 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Acronis True Image 2021 fails to properly set ACLs of the C:\ProgramData\Acronis directory. Because some privileged processes are executed from the C:\ProgramData\Acronis, an unprivileged user can achieve arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges by placing a DLL in one of several paths within C:\ProgramData\Acronis.. EPSS estimates a 0.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
