Windows 10 has a new critical warning issued today due to an extremely high risk that targets users worldwide who have installed this operating system on their computers at the moment. Cyber security researchers have revealed an extremely dangerous vulnerability in the Dropbox application for Windows 10, which allows an attacker to obtain administrator privileges without problems.
Windows 10 has this vulnerability discovered by hackers in September, they then announced both Dropbox and Microsoft, but until now none of the companies have solved it. Because of this extremely important vulnerability, a hacker can exploit the Drobpox application to run unsigned code with administrator privileges, so he can fully control any computer without problems.
Windows 10: DANGER to Humans, CRITICAL WARNING Announced
Windows 10 has not yet disclosed the code based on which the vulnerability in the Dropbox application can be exploited, but it seems that it exists within the DropboxUpdater system, installed together with the application. Considering that this process runs in Windows 10 about once an hour, it is quite easy to understand why a computer can be extremely easily exploited by a hacker, and a lot of people are in danger now.
Windows 10 can have this vulnerability exploited only if a hacker gains physical access to a computer in order to inject malicious code into the process that Dropbox uses for its application. Those from Dropbox say that until now no one has complained that Windows 10 has been exploited in any way, so they have not really found reasons to update the application to solve the problem, which of course is wrong.
Windows 10 has many applications available for those interested, but if you use the Dropbox application, it is advisable to be very careful and avoid using it until a solution to the problem is released.
