A vulnerability in the Backblaze Client allows a local user to make the system not bootable by creating a link from Backblaze's folder to Windows OS system files during a backup. Successful exploitation requires an administrator-level system change that results in the absence of specific Windows OS security controls. This vulnerability is due to improper link resolution.
