An Unsafe Search Path vulnerability in FortiClient Online Installer (Windows version before 6.0.6) may allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker with control over the directory in which FortiClientOnlineInstaller.exe resides to execute arbitrary code on the system via uploading malicious .dll files in that directory.

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.

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.

TeamSpeak 3 Client before 3.2.5 allows remote code execution in the Qt framework.

An issue was discovered in DisplayLink Core Software Cleaner Application 8.2.1956. When the drivers are updated to a newer version, the product launches a process as SYSTEM to uninstall the old version: cl_1956.exe is run as SYSTEM on the %systemroot%\Temp folder, where any user can write a DLL (e.g., version.dll) to perform DLL Hijacking and elevate privileges to SYSTEM.

An issue was discovered in PureVPN through 5.19.4.0 on Windows. The client installation grants the Everyone group Full Control permission to the installation directory. In addition, the PureVPNService.exe service, which runs under NT Authority\SYSTEM privileges, tries to load several dynamic-link libraries using relative paths instead of the absolute path. When not using a fully qualified path, the application will first try to load the library from the directory from which the application is started. As the residing directory of PureVPNService.exe is writable to all users, this makes the application susceptible to privilege escalation through DLL hijacking.

In Sophos Tester Tool 3.2.0.7 Beta, the driver loads (in the context of the application used to test an exploit or ransomware) the DLL using a payload that runs from NTDLL.DLL (so, it's run in userland), but the driver doesn't perform any validation of this DLL (not its signature, not its hash, etc.). A person can change this DLL in a local way, or with a remote connection, to a malicious DLL with the same name -- and when the product is used, this malicious DLL will be loaded, aka a DLL Hijacking attack.

In SUPERAntiSpyware Professional Trial 6.0.1254, SUPERAntiSpyware.exe allows DLL hijacking, leading to Escalation of Privileges.

IBM Notes 8.5 and 9.0 could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error related to multiple untrusted search path. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to DLL hijacking to execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash. IBM X-Force ID: 139565.

elf/dl-load.c in the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) 2.19 through 2.26 mishandles RPATH and RUNPATH containing $ORIGIN for a privileged (setuid or AT_SECURE) program, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse library in the current working directory, related to the fillin_rpath and decompose_rpath functions. This is associated with misinterpretion of an empty RPATH/RUNPATH token as the "./" directory. NOTE: this configuration of RPATH/RUNPATH for a privileged program is apparently very uncommon; most likely, no such program is shipped with any common Linux distribution.
