CVE-2020-13519: A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the WinRing0x64 Driver IRP 0x9c402088 functionality of NZXT CAM 4.8.0.

HighCVSS 8.8 · v3.1—Proof of concept No fix recorded

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.57% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.
