7.8 HIGH — CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Description

A local cross-user code execution vulnerability exists in GNU wget (Windows builds from eternallybored.org) due to a hardcoded configuration file path (C:\msys64) that is writable by unprivileged users, allowing for arbitrary code execution via the use_askpass directive, potentially allowing local privilege escalation.
