SAP GUI for Windows allows DLL files to be loaded from arbitrary directories within the application. An unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by persuading a victim to place a malicious DLL within one of these directories. The malicious command is executed in the victim user's context provided GuiXT is enabled. This vulnerability has a low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.Show less

Docker CLI for Windows searches for plugin binaries in C:\ProgramData\Docker\cli-plugins, a directory that does not exist by default. A low-privileged attacker can create this directory and place malicious CLI plugin binaries (docker-compose.exe, docker-buildx.exe, etc.) that are executed when a victim user opens Docker Desktop or invokes Docker CLI plugin features, and allow privilege-escalation if the docker CLI is executed as a privileged user. This issue affects Docker CLI: through 29.1.5 and Windows binaries acting as a CLI-plugin manager using the github.com/docker/cli/cli-plugins/manager https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/docker/cli@v29.1.5+incompatible/cli-plugins/manager  package, such as Docker Compose. This issue does not impact non-Windows binaries, and projects not using the plugin-manager code.Show less
