CVE-2023-49147

Summary

CVE-2023-49147 is a vulnerability affecting PDF24 Creator 11.14.0. The issue lies in the msi installer file's configuration, which inadvertently reveals a cmd.exe window during the repair function of msiexec.exe. An unprivileged local attacker can exploit this vulnerability by employing a sequence of actions, such as an oplock on faxPrnInst.log, to launch a SYSTEM cmd.exe and potentially gain elevated privileges. This poses a significant risk to systems where PDF24 Creator is installed, particularly if users have the repair function enabled.
