To quote MSDN documentation:
> The lpApplicationName parameter can be NULL, in which case the executable
> name must be the first white space–delimited string in lpCommandLine. If
> the executable or path name has a space in it, there is a risk that a
> different executable could be run because of the way the function parses
> spaces. The following example is dangerous because the function will
> attempt to run "Program.exe", if it exists, instead of "MyApp.exe".
>
> LPTSTR szCmdline[] = _tcsdup(TEXT("C:\\Program Files\\MyApp"));
> CreateProcessAsUser(hToken, NULL, szCmdline, /*...*/ );
>
> If a malicious user were to create an application called "Program.exe" on
> a system, any program that incorrectly calls CreateProcessAsUser using the
> Program Files directory will run this application instead of the intended
> application.

> To avoid this problem, do not pass NULL for lpApplicationName.
So instead, we pass the executable to lpApplicationName instead, which avoids
the issue. MSDN says:
> The lpCommandLine parameter can be NULL. In that case, the function uses
> the string pointed to by lpApplicationName as the command line.
This also avoids the strdup since lpApplicationName is LPCSTR unlike
lpCommandLine which is LPSTR.
