CVE-2020-37062 affects DHCP Turbo version 4.61298, containing an unquoted service path vulnerability. This flaw allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the service binary path. Attackers can place malicious executables in the service path to gain elevated privileges when the service starts. The vulnerability enables privilege escalation through a common Windows service misconfiguration. Local access is required for exploitation, but successful attacks result in elevated system privileges.
