Recommendation: Monitor — no exploitation signal at the moment.

The WatchGuard Mobile VPN with SSL Client on Windows does not properly configure directory permissions when installed in a non-default directory. This could allow an authenticated local attacker to escalate to SYSTEM privileges on a vulnerable system. This issue affects Mobile VPN with SSL Client: from 11.0 through 12.11.
