PDF Complete Corporate Edition 4.1.45 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the pdfcDispatcher service. This vulnerability allows local attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code by exploiting the unquoted path in the service binary location. Attackers can inject malicious executables that will be executed with elevated LocalSystem privileges. The vulnerability represents a privilege escalation risk for systems running the affected software version. Local access is required for exploitation, but successful attacks result in system-level privileges.
