GV Edge Recording Manager (ERM) v2.3.1 improperly runs application components with SYSTEM-level privileges, allowing any local user to gain full control of the operating system.
During installation, ERM creates a Windows service that runs under the LocalSystem account.
When the ERM application is launched, related processes are spawned under SYSTEM privileges rather than the security context of the logged-in user.
Functions such as 'Import Data' open a Windows file dialog operating with SYSTEM permissions, enabling modification or deletion of protected system files and directories.
Any ERM function invoking Windows file open/save dialogs exposes the same risk.
This vulnerability allows local privilege escalation and may result in full system compromise.
