Local-only attack via a kernel driver IOCTL (AV:L), reliable once exploit is known (AC:L), requires an existing low-priv local user (PR:L), no user interaction, and yields SYSTEM giving full C/I/A impact.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in Ezbsystems UltraISO Premium Edition up to 9.76. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality in the library bootpt64.sys of the component Kernel Driver. The manipulation leads to improper access controls. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AnalysisAI
Local privilege escalation in EZB Systems UltraISO Premium Edition up to 9.76 stems from improper access controls in the bundled bootpt64.sys kernel driver, allowing an authenticated local user to abuse the driver and achieve high-integrity kernel-level impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the vendor was contacted but did not respond, leaving all currently shipped versions unpatched.
Technical ContextAI
UltraISO Premium Edition is a Windows application for creating, editing, and converting optical disc images (ISO/BIN/IMG). The vulnerability lives in bootpt64.sys, a signed kernel-mode driver loaded by the product to support bootable media operations. Kernel drivers expose IOCTL interfaces via DeviceIoControl, and this driver fails to enforce CWE-284 Improper Access Control - meaning calls from low-privileged user-mode callers are processed without adequate caller validation (e.g., missing ACL on the device object, no SeDebugPrivilege check, or no caller integrity-level enforcement). Because the driver executes in ring 0, any abusable primitive it exposes (such as arbitrary read/write or process token manipulation) directly translates into SYSTEM-level compromise. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:ezbsystems:ultraiso_premium_edition:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* with the EUVD enumeration covering 9.0 through 9.76 indicates every shipped 9.x build is in scope.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - EZB Systems was contacted prior to disclosure and did not respond. Until a fixed build is published, uninstall UltraISO Premium Edition from systems where it is not business-critical, especially shared or multi-user workstations. Where the product must remain installed, the most effective compensating control is to block loading of the vulnerable driver: add bootpt64.sys to the Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist (enable HVCI / Memory Integrity which honors the Microsoft recommended driver block rules) or create a WDAC/AppLocker rule that denies load of that specific driver hash; the trade-off is that bootable-media features of UltraISO that rely on this driver will stop working. Additionally restrict interactive logon to trusted accounts and remove local admin / standard-user write access from any path the driver could be reloaded from, and monitor for unexpected DeviceIoControl traffic to the driver's device object. Track the vendor page and the VulDB record (https://vuldb.com/vuln/372528) for any later fix.
