NVIDIA Nsight Systems for Windows contains a vulnerability in the application’s DLL loading mechanism where an attacker could cause an uncontrolled search path element by exploiting insecure DLL search paths. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution, escalation of privileges, data tampering, denial of service and information disclosure.

Uncontrolled search path for the Instrumentation and Tracing Technology API (ITT API) software before version 3.25.4 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in Altera Quartus Prime Standard Installer (SFX) on Windows, Altera Quartus Prime Lite  Installer (SFX) on Windows allows Search Order Hijacking.This issue affects Quartus Prime Standard: from 23.1 through 24.1; Quartus Prime Lite: from 23.1 through 24.1.

The System Console Utility for Windows is vulnerable to a DLL planting vulnerability

Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) DSA software before version 25.2.15.9 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
