If this vulnerability is exploited, an arbitrary process may be executed with SYSTEM privilege by a user who can log in to the PC where the product's Windows client is installed.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceImproper access control in the resident process of SKYSEA Client View allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary processes with SYSTEM privileges, achieving local privilege escalation. The vulnerability exists in versions from Ver.11.220 prior to Ver.19.2.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm SKYSEA Client View is installedCheck for the presence of SKYSEA Client View in the program files directory (e.g., C:\Program Files\SKYSEA\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\SKYSEA\) or look for the application in Add/Remove Programs.Affected if The application is not installed.
-
Identify the installed versionOpen Windows Registry and navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Skygroup\SKYSEA\ClientView\CurrentVersion (or check the version info of the main executable file in the installation directory).Affected if The installed version falls within >= 11.220.05p and <= 19.101.01a.
-
Verify the resident process is runningOpen Task Manager or use tasklist command and look for processes named 'SKYSEA Client View Resident Process' or 'SSCVRes.exe' (the exact process name varies by version).Affected if The resident process is not running (the vulnerability requires the resident process to be active).
-
Check process privilegesUse Task Manager or Sysinternals Process Explorer to view the privileges of the resident process. If running as SYSTEM or with elevated privileges, the vulnerability could be exploited.Affected if The resident process runs with SYSTEM or elevated privileges and the version is in the affected range.
A user is affected if SKYSEA Client View is installed with a version between 11.220.05p and 19.101.01a inclusive, and the resident process is running with SYSTEM privileges.
