Cain & Abel 4.9.56 – Unquoted Service Path

The Cain & Abel version 4.9.56 software on Windows 10 x64 is vulnerable to an unquoted service path vulnerability. The 'Abel' service has a binary path name that is not properly quoted, which could allow an attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the LocalSystem account.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, the vendor should update the software to quote the binary path name properly. Users can also manually quote the binary path name to prevent exploitation.
