Multiple files and folders in Utimaco SecurityServer 4.20.0.4 and 4.31.1.0. are installed with Read/Write permissions for authenticated users, which allows for binaries to be manipulated by non-administrator users. Additionally, entries are made to the PATH environment variable which, in conjunction with these weak permissions, could enable an attacker to perform a DLL hijacking attack.

Adobe After Effects version 17.1.1 (and earlier) for Windows is affected by an uncontrolled search path vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Bytello Share (Windows Edition) installer executable provided by Bytello insecurely loads Dynamic Link Libraries. If there is a crafted DLL at the same directory when invoking the affected installer, arbitrary code may be executed with the privilege of the user invoking the installer.

ScreenToGif is a screen recording tool. In versions from 2.42.1 and prior, ScreenToGif is vulnerable to DLL sideloading via version.dll . When the portable executable is run from a user-writable directory, it loads version.dll from the application directory instead of the Windows System32 directory, allowing arbitrary code execution in the user's context. This is especially impactful because ScreenToGif is primarily distributed as a portable application intended to be run from user-writable locations. At time of publication, there are no publicly available patches.

The installers of LiveOn Meet Client for Windows (Downloader5Installer.exe and Downloader5InstallerForAdmin.exe) and the installers of Canon Network Camera Plugin (CanonNWCamPlugin.exe and CanonNWCamPluginForAdmin.exe) insecurely load Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). If a malicious DLL is placed at the same directory, the affected installer may load that DLL and execute its code with the privilege of the user invoking the installer.

A DLL injection vulnerability in 1password.dll of 1Password 7.3.712 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code.

Under certain circumstances, when manipulating the Windows registry, InstallBuilder uses the reg.exe system command. The full path to the command is not enforced, which results in a search in the search path until a binary can be identified. This makes the installer/uninstaller vulnerable to Path Interception by Search Order Hijacking, potentially allowing an attacker to plant a malicious reg.exe command so it takes precedence over the system command. The vulnerability only affects Windows installers.

When LG SmartShare is installed, local privilege escalation is possible through DLL Hijacking attack. The LG ID is LVE-HOT-220005.

In the version 12.1.0.1005 and below of 360 Total Security, when the Gamefolde calls GameChrome.exe, there exists a local privilege escalation vulnerability. An attacker who could exploit DLL hijacking to bypass the hips could execute arbitrary code on the Local system.

In the version 12.1.0.1004 and below of 360 Total Security, when the main process of 360 Total Security calls GameChrome.exe, there exists a local privilege escalation vulnerability. An attacker who could exploit DLL hijacking to bypass the hips could execute arbitrary code on the Local system.

In Python 3.6 through 3.6.10, 3.7 through 3.7.8, 3.8 through 3.8.4rc1, and 3.9 through 3.9.0b4 on Windows, a Trojan horse python3.dll might be used in cases where CPython is embedded in a native application. This occurs because python3X.dll may use an invalid search path for python3.dll loading (after Py_SetPath has been used). NOTE: this issue CANNOT occur when using python.exe from a standard (non-embedded) Python installation on Windows.

The installer for Qsee Client versions 1.0.1 and prior insecurely load Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). When a user is directed to place some malicious DLL to the same directory and execute the affected installer, then arbitrary code may be executed with the administrative privilege.

The MPS Agent in Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central MSP build MSP build 10.0.486 is vulnerable to DLL Hijacking: dcinventory.exe and dcconfig.exe try to load CSUNSAPI.dll without supplying the complete path. The issue is aggravated because this DLL is missing from the installation, thus making it possible to hijack the DLL and subsequently inject code, leading to an escalation of privilege to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

Various components in Ivanti Endpoint Manager through 2020.1.1 rely on Windows search order when loading a (nonexistent) library file, allowing (under certain conditions) one to gain code execution (and elevation of privileges to the level of privilege held by the vulnerable component such as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) via DLL hijacking. This affects ldiscn32.exe, IpmiRedirectionService.exe, LDAPWhoAmI.exe, and ldprofile.exe.

Git for Windows, the Windows port of Git, ships with an executable called `connect.exe`, which implements a SOCKS5 proxy that can be used to connect e.g. to SSH servers via proxies when certain ports are blocked for outgoing connections. The location of `connect.exe`'s config file is hard-coded as `/etc/connectrc` which will typically be interpreted as `C:\etc\connectrc`. Since `C:\etc` can be created by any authenticated user, this makes `connect.exe` susceptible to malicious files being placed there by other users on the same multi-user machine. The problem has been patched in Git for Windows v2.40.1. As a workaround, create the folder `etc` on all drives where Git commands are run, and remove read/write access from those folders. Alternatively, watch out for malicious `<drive>:\etc\connectrc` files on multi-user machines.

Emocheck insecurely loads Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs). If a crafted DLL file is placed to the same directory, an arbitrary code may be executed with the privilege of the user invoking EmoCheck.

The installer of RATOC RAID Monitoring Manager for Windows searches the current directory to load certain DLLs. If a user is directed to place a crafted DLL with the installer, an arbitrary code may be executed with the administrator privilege.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in self-extracting files created by EpsonNet SetupManager versions 2.2.14 and earlier, and Offirio SynergyWare PrintDirector versions 1.6x/1.6y and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

The installer for ジョブログ集計/分析ソフトウェア RICOHジョブログ集計ツール versions prior to Ver.1.3.7 contains an issue with the DLL search path, which may lead to insecurely loading Dynamic Link Libraries. As a result, arbitrary code may be executed with administrative privileges.

The support bundler in Teradici PCoIP Standard Agent for Windows and Graphics Agent for Windows versions prior to 20.04.1 and 20.07.0 does not use hard coded paths for certain Windows binaries, which allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges via execution of a malicious binary placed in the system path.

The installer of FinalCode Client provided by Digital Arts Inc. contains an issue with the DLL search path. If a user is directed to place a malicious DLL file and the installer to the same directory and execute the installer, arbitrary code may be executed with the installer's execution privilege.

The installer of ServerView Agents for Windows provided by Fsas Technologies Inc. may insecurely load Dynamic Link Libraries. Arbitrary code may be executed with the administrator privilege when the installer is executed.

D-Link D-View 8 versions 2.0.1.107 and below contain an uncontrolled search path vulnerability in the installer. When executed with elevated privileges via UAC, the installer attempts to load version.dll from its execution directory, allowing DLL preloading. An attacker can supply a malicious version.dll alongside the legitimate installer so that, when a victim runs the installer and approves the UAC prompt, attacker-controlled code executes with administrator privileges. This can lead to full system compromise.

Asterisk is an open source private branch exchange and telephony toolkit. Prior to versions 20.7-cert9, 20.18.2, 21.12.1, 22.8.2, and 23.2.2, when ast_coredumper writes its gdb init and output files to a directory that is world-writable (for example /tmp), an attacker with write permission(which is all users on a linux system) to that directory can cause root to execute arbitrary commands or overwrite arbitrary files by controlling the gdb init file and output paths. This issue has been patched in versions 20.7-cert9, 20.18.2, 21.12.1, 22.8.2, and 23.2.2.

Uncontrolled search path elements in Anthropic Claude for Windows installer (Claude Setup.exe) versions prior to 1.1.3363 allow local privilege escalation via DLL search-order hijacking. The installer loads DLLs (e.g., profapi.dll) from its own directory after UAC elevation, enabling arbitrary code execution if a malicious DLL is planted alongside the installer.
