# Vulnerability Description:
# The Atomic Alarm Clock service "timeserv.exe" will load an arbitrary EXE and execute it with SYSTEM integrity.
# This security misconfiguration by the vendor can be exploited locally or as part of an attack chain.
# By placing a file named "Program.exe" on the root drive, an attacker can obtain persistent arbitrary code execution.
# Under normal environmental conditions, this exploit ensures escalation of privileges from Admin to SYSTEM.
