Description

Fortra's Robot Schedule Enterprise Agent for Windows prior to version 3.04 is susceptible to privilege escalation. A low-privileged user can overwrite the service executable. When the service is restarted, the replaced binary runs with local system privileges, allowing a low-privileged user to gain elevated privileges.
