Acronis TrueImage XPC Privilege Escalation
Description
Acronis TrueImage versions 2019 update 1 through 2021 update 1 are vulnerable to privilege escalation. The `com.acronis.trueimagehelper` helper tool does not perform any validation on connecting clients, which gives arbitrary clients the ability to execute functions provided by the helper tool with `root` privileges.

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
