How to fix?

A fix was pushed into the master branch but not yet published.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Files or Directories Accessible to External Parties due to the creation of the installation directory with WRITE_DACL permission to the BUILTIN\Users group. An attacker can subvert the binary and cause the service to execute arbitrary code as the SYSTEM user or replace the binary completely by modifying the service's files.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the attacker has local access and is part of the BUILTIN\Users group.
