Incorrect default permissions in the installation directory of WatchDog Anti-Virus on Windows allow local, low-privileged users to modify, replace, or delete antivirus binaries and configuration files, because the installer grants the Users group Full Control over C:\Program Files (x86)\Watchdog Anti-Virus. This may disable antivirus protection or enable privileged code execution if modified binaries are loaded by an elevated WatchDog process.
