Malwarebytes is prone to an arbitrary file deletion (usage of DeleteFileW by MBAMService.exe) running as SYSTEM. This process can be manipulated from a non-admin user because it fails to properly filter the user supplied input while scanning a file, this vulnerability leads to a privilege escalation. This exploit was tested on Windows 10 Pro version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4412). Versions 19 and below are affected.
