Droid4XService (Droid4XService.exe) installs as a service with an unquoted service path running with SYSTEM privileges. This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system.

1. Description
Droid4XService (Droid4XService.exe) installs as a service with
an unquoted service path running with SYSTEM privileges.
This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local
user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system.
2. Proof of Concept
C:\Windows\system32>sc qc Droid4XService
[SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS
SERVICE_NAME: Droid4XService
TYPE : 110 WIN32_OWN_PROCESS (interactive)
START_TYPE : 2 AUTO_START
ERROR_CONTROL : 1 NORMAL
BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\Program Files (x86)\Droid4X\Droid4XService.exe
LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :
TAG : 0
DISPLAY_NAME : Droid4XService
DEPENDENCIES :
SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem
3. Exploit:
A successful attempt would require the local attacker must insert an executable file
in the path of the service.
Upon service restart or system reboot, the malicious code will be run with elevated privileges.
