Summary
Improper access control in the Patch Management update mechanism of TeamViewer Full Client and Host for Windows before 15.82 lets a local authenticated attacker with low privileges supply a signed executable through a forged IPC response. The executable then loads a malicious DLL from a user-writable temporary directory, which gives arbitrary code execution with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges. The flaw is classified as CWE-732.

Description from the CNA
Improper access control in the Patch Management update mechanism of TeamViewer Full Client and Host for Windows prior to version 15.82 allows a local authenticated attacker with low privileges to supply a signed executable through a forged IPC response and cause it to load a malicious DLL from a user-writable temporary directory. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges.
