CVE-2026-97860 Details
Description
YMS-VPN8 and YMS-VPN8-CP provided by Yamaha Corporation register Windows services with unquoted file paths. A user who has write permissions on the system drive may be able to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.
A vulnerability exists in Yamaha YMS-VPN8 and YMS-VPN8-CP applications, specifically in versions through 1.04.00. These applications register Windows services with unquoted file paths, creating a potential security risk. A user with write permissions on the system drive could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The issue arises from the unquoted service paths, which can be manipulated to execute unauthorized programs with elevated rights.
Users are advised to update to YMS-VPN8 or YMS-VPN8-CP version 1.07.00. For those unable to update, Yamaha recommends not sharing the Windows PC, restricting login access to trusted users, avoiding unnecessary administrative privileges, and not executing files from unknown sources.
