Hot Take:

Just when you thought it was safe to be a low-level user, Inosoft's VisiWin swings open the door to the SYSTEM privileges party like it forgot to check the guest list. With CVE-2023-31468, we're all reminded that the bouncer (aka default directory permissions) had one job, and it maaaay have taken a nap on this one. Update your software, folks, or risk letting any old script kiddie raid the privilege pantry!
