SYMPTOMS
The Systems Management Server (SMS) Remote Control Agent service (Wuser32.exe) may permit permissions to be increased.



CAUSE
When the SMS Remote Control agent detects a desktop switch, it opens the new input desktop. When the agent does this, it explicitly specifies a flag that permits other processes to hook its windows and obtain LocalSystem permissions.
