HotKey Clipboard 2.1.0.6 – Privilege Escalation Unquoted Service Path

The Hotkey Clipboard Service 'HKClipSvc' installed as part of Control Center3.0 v3.97 (and earlier versions) by Clevo has an unquoted service path. This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local user to execute arbitrary code with system privileges on the system.

Mitigation:

The vendor should fix the unquoted service path in the installation package.
