The installer in XAMPP through 8.1.12 allows local users to write to the C:xampp directory. Common use cases execute files under C:xampp with administrative privileges.
Weakness
The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
