    The only reason this was never disclosed was originally in hopes of
    proper vendor response... I spoke to their tech support about 5 times
    but they were just total morons. I eventually gave up.

    I was going to write a shatter like attack so this could be exploited
    ala .exe file but I never had time.

    Tested on Carbon Copy Version 6.0.5257

    Start the Carbon Copy Service...
    CCSRVC.exe is running as SYSTEM.

    In the task bar you should see a little blue and white CC icon. Right
    click on it and choose show user interface. CCW32.exe will then be
    started with SYSTEM rights.

    Choose help then "carbon copy help topics"... right click on the right
    hand side of the help pane and choose "view source". You should get
    notepad.exe running as SYSTEM. Click File then open... browse to cmd.exe
    right click and open it.

    Now you have local SYSTEM

    Carbon Copy Scheduler at one point in time had its own service as well
    so it could also be used to take SYSTEM... CCSched.exe runs as SYSTEM.
    The schedulers help button can be used to take SYSTEM. The Add button
    will take you to an other screen with a browse button that can be used...

    Several variations of this span the products various versions. The
    latest version I used did not contain the Scheduler Service...

    I will eventually write up a proper advisory for this and an exploit
    but... like I stated above... just been too busy to write the exploit.

    Enjoy.
