Summary
On a windows machine, the Grafana Agent Flow mode service prior to version 0.43.1 is vulnerable to a privilege escalation from local user to SYSTEM due to an unquoted service path.
It is recommended that you remove the Grafana Agent Flow installation and do a clean install. An update will not resolve the issue. An alternative would be to add the double quotes manually to Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Grafana Agent Flow.
