CVE-2020-37060: Atomic Alarm Clock x86 6.3 - 'AtomicAlarmClock' Unquoted Service Path

Atomic Alarm Clock 6.3 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability in its service configuration that allows attackers to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. Attackers can exploit the unquoted service path by placing a malicious executable named 'Program.exe' to gain persistent system-level access.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Atomic Alarm Clock x86 6.3 installs a Windows service with an unsafe, unquoted path. A user who already has local access could abuse that configuration to run code as SYSTEM, the highest Windows privilege level. This is not a remote internet attack, but it can turn a limited workstation foothold into full device control. Exposure is limited to Windows systems running Drive-Software Atomic Alarm Clock x86 version 6.3 with the vulnerable service installed. Systems where low-privileged users can access relevant filesystem locations have higher practical risk. Prioritize on managed Windows endpoints where the software is present, especially shared workstations or systems exposed to untrusted local users. This is high severity for affected hosts, but business urgency depends on actual deployment because exploitation is local, not remote. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Atomic Alarm Clock x86 6.3.; Check vendor guidance for fixed versions, supported upgrades, or removal.; Remove the software where there is no business need..
