Vulnerability Details

TunnelBear for Windows suffers from a SYSTEM privilege escalation vulnerability through the TunnelBearMaintenanceservice. This service establishes an NetNamedPipe endpoint that allows arbitrary installed applications to connect and call publicly exposed methods.

An attacker can specify a dynamic library plugin that should run for every new VPN connection attempt. This plugin will execute code in the context of the SYSTEM user.
