CVE-2023-22282
Since a registered Windows service path contains spaces and are unquoted, if a malicious executable is placed on a certain path, the executable may be executed with the privilege of the Windows service.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.20%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
