Unprotected Windows messaging channel (Shatter) issue exists in Defense Platform Home Edition Ver.3.9.51.x and earlier. If an attacker sends a specially crafted message to the specific process of the Windows system where the product is running, arbitrary code may be executed with SYSTEM privilege.

Weakness

The product does not properly verify the source of a message in the Windows Messaging System while running at elevated privileges, creating an alternate channel through which an attacker can directly send a message to the product.
