Untrusted Search Path

In Total Defense Anti-virus 9.0.0.773, resource acquisition from the untrusted search path C:\ used by caschelp.exe allows local attackers to hijack ccGUIFrm.dll, which leads to code execution. SYSTEM-level code execution can be achieved when the ccSchedulerSVC service runs the affected executable.Show less

A CWE-426: Untrusted Search Path vulnerability exists in SoMachine HVAC v2.4.1 and earlier versions, which could cause arbitrary code execution on the system running SoMachine HVAC when a malicious DLL library is loaded by the product.Show less

Privileges manipulation in Micro Focus Data Protector, versions 10.00, 10.01, 10.02, 10.03, 10.04, 10.10, 10.20, 10.30, 10.40. This vulnerability could be exploited by a low-privileged user to execute a custom binary with higher privileges.Show less

DLL Search Order Hijacking vulnerability in Microsoft Windows client in McAfee Total Protection (MTP) Free Antivirus Trial 16.0.R18 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code via execution from a compromised folder placed by an attacker with administrator rights.Show less

Check Point Endpoint Security Initial Client for Windows before version E81.30 tries to load a DLL placed in any PATH location on a clean image without Endpoint Client installed. An attacker can leverage this to gain LPE using a specially crafted DLL placed in any PATH location accessible with write permissions to the user.Show less

An Untrusted Search Path vulnerability in the ServiceInstance.dll library versions 1.0.15.119 and lower, as used in Bitdefender Antivirus Free 2020 versions prior to 1.0.15.138, allows an attacker to load an arbitrary DLL file from the search path.Show less

A DLL search path vulnerability was reported in PaperDisplay Hotkey Service version 1.2.0.8 that could allow privilege escalation. Lenovo has ended support for PaperDisplay Hotkey software as the Night light feature introduced in Windows 10 Build 1703 provides similar features.Show less

The Rapid7 InsightAppSec broker suffers from a DLL injection vulnerability in the 'prunsrv.exe' component of the product. If exploited, a local user of the system (who must already be authenticated to the operating system) can elevate their privileges with this vulnerability to the privilege level of InsightAppSec (usually, SYSTEM). This issue affects version 2019.06.24 and prior versions of the product.Show less

A DLL side-loading vulnerability in Trend Micro OfficeScan 11.0 SP1 and XG could allow an authenticated attacker to gain code execution and terminate the product's process - disabling endpoint protection. The attacker must have already gained authentication and have local access to the vulnerable system.Show less

Akeo Consulting Rufus 3.0 and earlier is affected by: DLL search order hijacking. The impact is: Arbitrary code execution WITH escalation of privilege. The component is: Executable installers, portable executables (ALL executables on the web site). The attack vector is: CAPEC-471, CWE-426, CWE-427.Show less

In LogMeIn join.me before 3.16.0.5505, an attacker could execute arbitrary commands on a targeted system. This vulnerability is due to unsafe search paths used by the application URI that is defined in Windows. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a targeted user to follow a malicious link. Successful exploitation could cause the application to load libraries from the directory targeted by the URI link. The attacker could use this behavior to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the targeted user if the attacker can place a crafted library in a directory that is accessible to the vulnerable system.Show less

A vulnerability in the London Trust Media Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN Client v82 for macOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The openvpn_launcher binary is setuid root. This program is called during the connection process and executes several operating system utilities to configure the system. The networksetup utility is called using relative paths. A local unprivileged user can execute arbitrary commands as root by creating a networksetup trojan which will be executed during the connection process. This is possible because the PATH environment variable is not reset prior to executing the OS utility.Show less

A vulnerability in the London Trust Media Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN Client v1.0 for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The PIA client is vulnerable to a DLL injection vulnerability during the software update process. The updater loads several libraries from a folder that authenticated users have write access to. A low privileged user can leverage this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM.Show less

The application (Network Configurator for DeviceNet Safety 3.41 and prior) searches for resources by means of an untrusted search path that could execute a malicious .dll file not under the application's direct control and outside the intended directories.Show less

A vulnerability in Viber before 10.7.0 for Desktop (Windows) could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a targeted system. This vulnerability is due to unsafe search paths used by the application URI. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by convincing a targeted user to follow a malicious link. Successful exploitation could cause the application to load libraries from the directory targeted by the URI link. The attacker could use this behavior to execute arbitrary commands on the system with the privileges of the targeted user, if the attacker can place a crafted library in a directory that is accessible to the vulnerable system.Show less

In PaperStream IP (TWAIN) 1.42.0.5685 (Service Update 7), the FJTWSVIC service running with SYSTEM privilege processes unauthenticated messages received over the FjtwMkic_Fjicube_32 named pipe. One of these message processing functions attempts to dynamically load the UninOldIS.dll library and executes an exported function named ChangeUninstallString. The default install does not contain this library and therefore if any DLL with that name exists in any directory listed in the PATH variable, it can be used to escalate to SYSTEM level privilege.Show less

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Electronic reception and examination of application for radio licenses Offline 1.0.9.0 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.Show less
