Syncplify.me Server! 5.0.37 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the SMWebRestServicev5 service that allows local attackers to escalate privileges by exploiting the unquoted binary path. Attackers can insert a malicious executable into the service path and execute it with LocalSystem privileges when the service restarts or the system reboots.
