1. Description:

The default installation directory for Icecream Ebook Reader is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Icecream Ebook Reader" with weak folder permissions that grants EVERYONE change/modify

privileges to the contents of the directory and it's subfolders. This allows an attacker opportunity for their own code execution under any other user running the

application. The same vulnerability exists for "Icecream Screen Recorder" as well as "Icecream Slideshow Maker".
