    1. Description:
    
    Netgear Genie installs a service called 'NETGEARGenieDaemon' with an unquoted service
    
    path running with SYSTEM privileges.
    This could potentially allow an authorized but non-privileged local
    user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the system.
    
    2. Proof
    
    C:\Program Files>sc qc NETGEARGenieDaemon
    [SC] QueryServiceConfig SUCCESS
    
    SERVICE_NAME: NETGEARGenieDaemon
    TYPE : 10WIN32_OWN_PROCESS
    START_TYPE : 3 DEMAND_START
    ERROR_CONTROL: 1 NORMAL
    BINARY_PATH_NAME : C:\Program Files\NETGEAR Genie\bin\NETGEARGenieDaemon.exe
    LOAD_ORDER_GROUP :
    TAG: 0
    DISPLAY_NAME : NETGEARGenieDaemon
    DEPENDENCIES :
    SERVICE_START_NAME : LocalSystem
    
    
    3. Exploit:
    
    A successful attempt would require the local user to be able to insert their
    code in the system root path undetected by the OS or other security applications
    where it could potentially be executed during application startup or reboot.
    If successful, the local user's code would execute with the elevated privileges
    of the application.
