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.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the installer in Adobe Flash Player before 10.3.183.20 and 11.x before 11.3.300.257 on Windows and Mac OS X; before 10.3.183.20 and 11.x before 11.2.202.236 on Linux; before 11.1.111.10 on Android 2.x and 3.x; and before 11.1.115.9 on Android 4.x, and Adobe AIR before 3.3.0.3610, allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse executable file in an unspecified directory.

Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in the DMTGUI2.EXE and DvInesLogFileViewer.Exe components in DATEV Grundpaket Basis CD23.20 allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse (1) DVBSKNLANG101.dll or (2) DvZediTermSrvInfo004.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .dmt, .adl, .c02, .dof, or .jrf file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 on Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Gold and SP1 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains an HTML file, aka "Internet Explorer Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability."

Untrusted search path vulnerability in modules/engines/ms-windows/xp_theme.c in GTK+ before 2.24.0 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse uxtheme.dll file in the current working directory, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-4831.

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 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.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 SP1; Visual Studio 2005 SP1, 2008 SP1, and 2010; Visual C++ 2005 SP1, 2008 SP1, and 2010; and Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3, 2013, and 2013 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll file in the current working directory during execution of an MFC application such as AtlTraceTool8.exe (aka ATL MFC Trace Tool), as demonstrated by a directory that contains a TRC, cur, rs, rct, or res file, aka "MFC Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability."

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.

A DLL Hijacking vulnerability in QNAP Qsync for Windows (exe) version 4.2.2.0724 and earlier could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on Windows machines.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Security Kinou Mihariban v1.0.21 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Installer for Shin Kikan Toukei Houkoku Data Nyuryokuyou Program (program released on 2013 September 30) Distributed on the website until 2017 May 17 allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Installer of IP Messenger for Win 4.60 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Installer for Shin Sekiyu Yunyu Chousa Houkoku Data Nyuryoku Program (program released on 2013 September 30) distributed on the website until 2017 May 17 allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.
