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 · unedited
Incorrect access permission of a specific folder issue exists in RemoteView Agent (for Windows) versions prior to v8.1.5.2. If this vulnerability is exploited, a non-administrative user on the remote PC may execute an arbitrary OS command with LocalSystem privilege.

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 confidence

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in RemoteView Agent for Windows versions prior to v8.1.5.2 due to incorrect access permissions on a specific folder. An unprivileged local user can exploit this to execute arbitrary OS commands with LocalSystem privileges.

MitigationUpgrade RemoteView Agent for Windows to v8.1.5.2 or later, which corrects the folder permission issue. Alternatively, manually review and restrict permissions on the affected folder to prevent unauthorized user access.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm RemoteView Agent for Windows is installed
    Check for RemoteView in the list of installed programs via Control Panel > Programs and Features, or run 'Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_Product | Where-Object {$_.Name -like "*RemoteView*"}' in PowerShell
    Affected if RemoteView Agent for Windows appears in the installed programs list
  2. Determine the installed RemoteView version
    Check the version of the RemoteView Agent executable. Common paths include C:\Program Files\RemoteView\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\RemoteView\. Right-click the RemoteView.exe file, select Properties, and view the Details tab for the Version number
    Affected if The version number is lower than 8.1.5.2 (for example, 8.1.5.1, 8.1.4, or earlier)
  3. Locate the RemoteView installation directory
    Open File Explorer and navigate to the installation folder (typically C:\Program Files\RemoteView\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\RemoteView\). Note the folder structure, particularly subfolders that contain executable files, configuration files, or runtime data
    Affected if The installation directory exists and contains RemoteView executable files
  4. Inspect folder access permissions
    Right-click the RemoteView installation folder, select Properties, then go to the Security tab. Click Advanced to view detailed permissions. Check the 'Access' column for users and groups. Look for entries like 'Users', 'Everyone', or 'Authenticated Users' and examine their permissions. Specifically check if these unprivileged accounts have 'Full control', 'Modify', or 'Write' permissions that would allow them to add or modify files in the folder
    Affected if Unprivileged standard users or the 'Users' group have permissions that allow writing, modifying, or executing files within the RemoteView folder
  5. Verify unprivileged user access to service executable paths
    Open Command Prompt as a standard (non-admin) user and attempt to navigate to or list contents of the RemoteView folder. Run 'dir "C:\Program Files\RemoteView"' or the equivalent path. If access is granted without admin prompts, the folder is accessible to unprivileged users
    Affected if A standard unprivileged user account can read, write, or execute files in the RemoteView installation directory

A user is affected if RemoteView Agent for Windows version lower than 8.1.5.2 is installed AND unprivileged users have write or execute access to the RemoteView installation folder or its subfolders, allowing them to place or modify executable files that run with LocalSystem privileges.

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Upgrade RemoteView Agent for Windows to v8.1.5.2 or later, which corrects the folder permission issue. Alternatively, manually review and restrict permissions on the affected folder to prevent unauthorized user access.

Recommended fix High confidence

v8.1.5.2

  1. Identify the currently installed RemoteView Agent version on Windows systems by checking Add/Remove Programs or the application's version information
  2. Download RemoteView Agent v8.1.5.2 or later from the official RemoteView vendor source (help.rview.com)
  3. Run the installer with appropriate privileges and follow the upgrade prompts to update the RemoteView Agent
  4. Verify the installation completed successfully and confirm the new version is v8.1.5.2 or later
