This vulnerability allows a local attacker to gain arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the SysGauge Pro application. Specifically, by providing a maliciously crafted \u0026ldquo;Unlock Key\u0026rdquo; during the registration, an attacker can overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH). This overwrite allows the injection of shellcode, leading to the execution of attacker-controlled code within the context of the application. This is a local vulnerability, meaning the attacker needs local system access to exploit it. The report dates back to 2018, but was only recently published in the NVD database.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"attack-chain\"\u003eAttack Chain\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker gains local access to the target system.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker identifies that SysGauge Pro 4.6.12 is installed.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker launches SysGauge Pro.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker initiates the registration process within SysGauge Pro.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttacker provides a crafted \u0026ldquo;Unlock Key\u0026rdquo; containing shellcode designed to overwrite the Structured Exception Handler (SEH).\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe application attempts to process the overly long \u0026ldquo;Unlock Key\u0026rdquo; without proper bounds checking.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe buffer overflow occurs, overwriting the SEH with the attacker\u0026rsquo;s shellcode address.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen an exception occurs within the application, the overwritten SEH is invoked, redirecting execution to the attacker\u0026rsquo;s shellcode, leading to arbitrary code execution with application privileges.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation of this vulnerability allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the SysGauge Pro application.
