Attack Vector

If a malicious user has the write permissions in any of the spaced paths, they can drop a malicious executable in that folder and execute code as SYSTEM. For example, consider we have a low privileged user with write permissions to C:, then, we can drop a malicious executable named Program.exe at the path C:\ and upon reboot, the service will execuete the payload as SYSTEM.
