Description

Webroot endpoint agents prior to version v9.0.28.48 did not protect the "%PROGRAMDATA%\WrData\PKG" directory against renaming. This could allow attackers to trigger a crash or wait upon Webroot service restart to rewrite and hijack dlls in this directory for privilege escalation.

Affected products

• Webroot Endpoint Agents: before 9.0.28.48 — fixed in 9.0.28.48

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Webroot Endpoint Agents 9.0.28.48. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
