Summary:Microsoft Windows could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges caused by a vulnerability in the keybd_event function or SendKeys command. A local attacker using the keybd_event function or SendKeys command and with access to the untrusted application could exploit this vulnerability by sending keystrokes to execute arbitrary code on the system with user privileges. This would allow the attacker to bypass security restrictions and gain elevated privileges on the system.
