Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Privilege Escalation. There is an unquoted Windows binary path vulnerability. An attacker would need write access to the filesystem on the host machine. If the Java path includes a space, then the attacker could lift their privilege to the same as the Traccar service (system).

Note: Only Windows versions are impacted.
