Description:
Francis Provencher has discovered a security issue in Remote Files Server Edition and My Remote Files, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to the applications setting insecure default permissions on the installation directory. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges by replacing application binaries.

The security issue is confirmed in Remote Files Server Edition version 2.4.2 and My Remote Files version 2.4.2. Other versions may also be affected.
