Technical details
The vulnerability is a privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution flaw caused by insecure component loading: Venere is installed outside the protected Program Files directory and loads or registers unsigned (unvalidated) components from locations where non-administrative users can create or modify files. An attacker with local access can place malicious unsigned components in these writable paths; when Venere loads them, the attacker gains code execution in the application's privilege context.
