About this tag
The tag priviledge covers discussions about elevation of privilege vulnerabilities and user permission issues in Windows. Topics include security updates like MS15-050 and MS12-066, which address vulnerabilities in the Service Control Manager and HTML Sanitization Component that could allow attackers to gain elevated privileges. Users also report practical problems, such as receiving error messages about insufficient priviledges when launching applications like Adobe Fireworks after a Windows 7 upgrade, requiring administrative rights to function correctly. The tag focuses on both security patches and real-world permission errors.
