Netdata: Local Privilege Escalation in Netdata Agent Windows installer via PowerShell Profile Hijack in MSI Repair

Description

Netdata is an open source observability tool. From rom 2.0.0 until 2.10.4, during Netdata Windows Agent MSI repair, powershell.exe runs as SYSTEM without -NoProfile and loads %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 from the low-privileged user who initiated repair. Commands placed in that profile before repair therefore execute with SYSTEM privileges. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.10.4.
