About Unquoted Service Path :
==============================
When a service is created whose executable path contains spaces and isn't
enclosed within quotes, leads to a vulnerability known as Unquoted Service
Path which allows a user to gain SYSTEM privileges.
(only if the vulnerable service is running with SYSTEM privilege level
which most of the time it is).
C:\>wmic service get name,displayname,pathname,startmode |findstr /i "auto"
|findstr /i /v "c:\windows\\" |findstr /i /v """
