| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in Deskflow. A local unprivileged user can exploit this by interacting with an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) named pipe, which the Deskflow daemon exposes with broad access permissions. The daemon, running with SYSTEM privileges, processes commands without authentication, allowing the user to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges. This leads to privilege escalation.
