Malwarebytes AdwCleaner before v.8.7.0 runs as Administrator and performs an insecure log file delete operation in which the target location is user-controllable, allowing a non-admin user to escalate privileges to SYSTEM via a symbolic link, a related issue to CVE-2023-28892. To exploit this, an attacker must create a file in a given folder path and intercept the application log file deletion flow.
