Cuando un paquete se ejecuta como usuario del SYSTEMA, Burn usa GetTempPathW que apunta a un directorio inseguro C:\\Windows\\Temp para colocar y cargar múltiples archivos binarios. Los usuarios estándar pueden secuestrar el binario antes de que se cargue en la aplicación, lo que resulta en una elevación de privilegios. Esta vulnerabilidad se solucionó en 3.14.1 y 4.0.5."
