A local privilege escalation vulnerability in TotalAV allows an unprivileged local user to forge the gRPC IPC authentication token, through loading IPC.dll and abuse the SYSTEM service's within TotalAV to execute arbitrary code as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
TotalAV 5.15.69 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in multiple system services running with LocalSystem privileges. Attackers can place malicious executables in specific unquoted path segments to potentially gain SYSTEM-level access by exploiting the service path configuration.
Insecure Permission vulnerability in TotalAV v.6.0.740 allows a local attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted file
