AS-2025-008: ABP and AES

2025-07-23

Statement

The Windows service configuration of ABP and AES contains an unquoted ImagePath registry value vulnerability. This allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious executable in a predictable location such as "C:\Program.exe". If the service runs with elevated privileges, exploitation results in privilege escalation to SYSTEM level. This vulnerability arises from an unquoted service path affecting systems where the executable resides in a path containing spaces.
Affected products and versions include: ABP (ASUSTOR Backup Plan) 2.0.7.6130 and earlier as well as AES (ASUSTOR EZSync) 1.0.6.6133 and earlier.

• The issue has been fixed on ABP (ASUSTOR Backup Plan) 2.0.7.6131 and AES (ASUSTOR EZSync) 1.0.6.6134.
