Uncontrolled Search Path Element

Local privilege escalation due to DLL hijacking vulnerability. The following products are affected: Acronis True Image (Windows) before build 42386, Acronis True Image for Western Digital (Windows) before build 42636, Acronis True Image for SanDisk (Windows) before build 42679, Acronis True Image OEM (Windows) before build 42575.Show less

Notepad++ v8.8.3 has a DLL hijacking vulnerability, which can replace the original DLL file to execute malicious code. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple parties because the behavior only occurs when a user installs the product into a directory tree that allows write access by arbitrary unprivileged users.Show less

In Seagate Toolkit on Windows a vulnerability exists in the Toolkit Installer prior to versions 2.35.0.6 where it attempts to load DLLs from the current working directory without validating their origin or integrity. This behavior can be exploited by placing a malicious DLL in the same directory as the installer executable, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the installer. The issue stems from the use of insecure DLL loading practices, such as relying on relative paths or failing to specify fully qualified paths when invoking system libraries.Show less

A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the safe_asterisk script included with the Asterisk toolkit package. When Asterisk is started via this script (common in SysV init or FreePBX environments), it sources all .sh files located in /etc/asterisk/startup.d/ as root, without validating ownership or permissions. Non-root users with legitimate write access to /etc/asterisk can exploit this behaviour by placing malicious scripts in the startup.d directory, which will then execute with root privileges upon service restart.Show less

DLL search order hijacking vulnerability in the wave.exe executable for Windows 11, version 1.27.8. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow attackers with local access to execute arbitrary code by placing an arbitrary file in the 'C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Temp' directory, which could lead to arbitrary code execution and persistence. This vulnerability is only replicable in versions of Windows 11 and does not affect earlier versions.Show less

DLL search path hijacking vulnerability in the UPDF.exe executable for Windows version 1.8.5.0 allows attackers with local access to execute arbitrary code by placing a FREngine.dll file of their choice in the 'C:\Users\Public\AppData\Local\UPDF\FREngine\Bin64\' directory, which could lead to arbitrary code execution and persistence.Show less

DLL search path hijacking vulnerability in the UPDF.exe executable for Windows version 1.8.5.0 allows attackers with local access to execute arbitrary code by placing a FREngine.dll file of their choice in the 'C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\UPDF\FREngine\Bin64\' directory, which could lead to arbitrary code execution and persistence.Show less

DLL search path hijacking vulnerability in the UPDF.exe executable for Windows version 1.8.5.0 allows attackers with local access to execute arbitrary code by placing a dxtn.dll file of their choice in the 'C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\' directory, which could lead to arbitrary code execution and persistence.Show less

Foxit PDF Reader Update Service Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Foxit PDF Reader. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Foxit Reader Update Service. The product loads a library from an unsecured location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-25709.Show less

NoMachine Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of NoMachine. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the configuration of OpenSSL. The product loads an OpenSSL configuration file from an unsecured location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-26766.Show less

A vulnerability has been found in Mechrevo Control Center GX V2 5.56.51.48. Affected is an unknown function of the file C:\Program Files\OEM\机械革命控制中心\AiStoneService\MyControlCenter\Command of the component Powershell Script Handler. Such manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. The attack needs to be performed locally. Attacks of this nature are highly complex. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.Show less

A vulnerability was detected in Mechrevo Control Center GX V2 5.56.51.48. Impacted is an unknown function of the component reg File Handler. The manipulation results in uncontrolled search path. The attack needs to be approached locally. The attack requires a high level of complexity. The exploitability is considered difficult. The exploit is now public and may be used.Show less

Substance3D - Modeler versions 1.22.0 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. If the application uses an uncontrolled search path to locate critical resources such as programs, an attacker could modify that search path to point to a malicious program, which the targeted application would then execute. Exploitation of this issue does not require user interaction.Show less
