NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the installer, where a user installing the NVIDIA GeForce Experience software may inadvertently delete data from a linked location, which may lead to data tampering. An attacker does not have explicit control over the exploitation of this vulnerability, which requires the user to explicitly launch the installer from the compromised directory.
The product opens a file or directory, but it does not properly prevent the name from being associated with a junction or mount point to a destination that is outside of the intended control sphere.
The product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource.
