Norton, Avira, Avast and AVG Antivirus for Windows may be susceptible to a Privilege Escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker may attempt to compromise the software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
