Weaponized quickly — attackers prioritized this vulnerability. Patch urgently.

Recommendation: Plan a near-term fix — a public PoC already exists.

There is an unquoted service path in Sherpa Connector Service (SherpaConnectorService.exe) 2020.2.20328.2050. This might allow a local user to escalate privileges by creating a "C:\Program Files\Sherpa Software\Sherpa.exe" file.
