CVE-2022-37771
IObit Malware Fighter v9.2 for Microsoft Windows lacks tamper protection, allowing authenticated attackers with Administrator privileges to modify processes within the application and escalate privileges to SYSTEM via a crafted executable.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
