High (7.8) in webroot endpoint agents. EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Webroot endpoint agents prior to version v9.0.28.48 did not protect the "%PROGRAMDATA%\WrData\PKG" directory against renaming. This could allow attackers to trigger a crash or wait upon Webroot service restart to rewrite and hijack dlls in this directory for privilege escalation.
