Windows Firewall Control 4.8.6.0 Unquoted Service Path Privilege Escalation

Windows Firewall Control 4.8.6.0 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by inserting malicious executables in the service path. Attackers can place executable files in unquoted path directories that the wfcs.exe service will execute with LocalSystem privileges upon service restart or system reboot.

In Malwarebytes Binisoft Windows Firewall Control before 6.16.0.0, the installer is vulnerable to local privilege escalation.

Malwarebytes Binisoft Windows Firewall Control before 6.9.9.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via gRPC named pipes.

Lack of access control in wfc.exe in Malwarebytes Binisoft Windows Firewall Control 6.9.2.0 allows local unprivileged users to bypass Windows Firewall restrictions via the user interface's rules tab. NOTE: the vendor's perspective is "this is intended behavior as the application can be locked using a password."

In Malwarebytes Binisoft Windows Firewall Control before 6.8.1.0, programs executed from the Tools tab can be used to escalate privileges.
