CVE-2024-47550
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedIncorrect default permissions for some Endurance Gaming Mode software installers may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
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 · moderate confidenceThis vulnerability involves incorrect default file system permissions on Endurance Gaming Mode software installers. An authenticated local user can exploit these overly permissive file or folder permissions to potentially modify installer files or associated executables, allowing them to escalate privileges by replacing legitimate binaries with malicious ones.

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.
-
Identify if Endurance Gaming Mode is installedCheck the system for Endurance Gaming Mode software by looking in Program Files, Program Files (x86), or using registry keys under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\UninstallAffected if The software is found installed on the system
-
Locate Endurance Gaming Mode installation directoryFind the primary installation path by examining the installer folder location, typically under C:\Program Files\Endurance or C:\Program Files (x86)\Endurance, or query the installation path from uninstall registry entriesAffected if An installation directory exists for Endurance Gaming Mode software
-
Verify file permissions on installer directoriesRight-click the installer directory, select Properties, go to the Security tab, and review the permissions. Alternatively, run 'icacls <installer_directory>' from an elevated command prompt to list all access control entriesAffected if Users without administrator or SYSTEM privileges are granted Write or Full Control permissions to the installer directory or its contents
-
Check for overly permissive executable filesRun 'icacls <installer_directory>\*.exe' to review permissions on all executable files in the installer directory, or manually inspect each .exe file's permissions via the Security tabAffected if Standard users have Modify, Write, or Full Control permissions on any executable files within the installer directory
-
Verify write access as a non-admin userAttempt to create or modify a test file in the installer directory using a standard (non-elevated) user account, or use Sysinternals Process Monitor to confirm write attempts are allowedAffected if A standard authenticated user can successfully write to the installer directory or modify existing installer executables
A user is affected if Endurance Gaming Mode is installed and non-privileged users have write access to installer directories or executable files, allowing potential binary replacement for privilege escalation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataRemediate by reviewing and correcting file system permissions on the Endurance Gaming Mode installer directories and files to follow the principle of least privilege, ensuring only authorized SYSTEM/Admin accounts have write access to installer locations.
