Submit #672512: VeePN 1.6.2 Unquoted Search Path

VeePN 1.6.2 installs the AVService Windows service with an unquoted ImagePath (C:\Program Files (x86)\VeePN\avservice\avservice.exe), allowing the Windows service loader to resolve and execute an executable from earlier path tokens (for example C:\Program.exe) when the service starts; because C:\Program on the assessed host is writable by non-privileged users, an attacker with local file-write access can place a malicious binary that may be executed with the service’s elevated privileges (typically SYSTEM), resulting in local privilege escalation and potential full system compromise.
