The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when GP-Pro EX is launched. A remote attacker can trick the victim into processing a specially crafted input and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
