CVE-2025-50675 affects GPMAW 14, a bioinformatics software package, due to insecure file permissions on its installation directory. The directory is configured with overly permissive read, write, and execute access for all local users, allowing unprivileged users to modify files stored there, including executable components such as GPMAW3.exe, Fragment.exe, and the uninstaller GPsetup64_17028.exe. The core issue is that trusted application binaries in a privileged software directory can be replaced or altered by low-privileged users. An attacker can exploit this by substituting the uninstaller GPsetup64_17028.exe with a malicious executable. When an administrator later runs the uninstaller, the attacker-controlled binary executes in the administrator's security context, resulting in local privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution.
