DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in IObit Unlocker 1.3.0.12. This vulnerability affects the function ZwTerminateProcess in the library IObitUnlocker.sys of the component IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL Handler. The manipulation leads to improper privilege management. An attack has to be approached locally. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Improper privilege management in IObit Unlocker 1.3.0.12's kernel driver (IObitUnlocker.sys) allows a locally authenticated high-privileged user to invoke ZwTerminateProcess through the IRP_MJ_DEVICE_CONTROL handler without adequate authorization checks, enabling termination of processes outside the caller's normal authority. The vulnerability is limited to systems with IObit Unlocker installed and the driver loaded, and requires existing administrator-level access to exploit. …
