```

### Attack Vector
Files in this path can be modified by unprivileged users, malicious process and/or threat actor.
And the service "Macro Expert" which runs under SYSTEM context, will invoke the "MacroService.exe" in this directory.
If a malicious user replaces the executable named "MacroService.exe" within this directory, the service will inadvertently execute these malicious binaries upon reboot, running them with SYSTEM privileges.
