CVE-2025-8070

Windows service registered with an unquoted ImagePath vulnerability in the system registry

Published Jul 23, 2025 CVSS 4.0 · 9.2 Critical EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Windows service configuration of ABP and AES contains an unquoted ImagePath registry value vulnerability. This allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious executable in a predictable location such as C:\Program.exe. If the service runs with elevated privileges, exploitation results in privilege escalation to SYSTEM level. This vulnerability arises from an unquoted service path affecting systems where the executable resides in a path containing spaces.
Affected products and versions include: ABP 2.0.7.6130 and earlier as well as AES 1.0.6.6133 and earlier.
