CVSS v3.1 |
| The application's update service, when checking for updates, loads certain system libraries from a search path that includes directories writable by low‑privileged users and is not strictly restricted to trusted system locations. Because these libraries may be resolved and loaded from user‑writable locations, a local attacker can place a malicious library there and have it loaded with SYSTEM privileges, resulting in local privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Graphics Driver software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Symantec Endpoint Protection, prior to 14.3 RU10 Patch 1, RU9 Patch 2, and RU8 Patch 3, may be susceptible to a COM Hijacking vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker attempts to establish persistence and evade detection by hijacking COM references in the Windows Registry. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some ACAT software maintained by Intel(R) for Windows before version 3.11.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path element for some Intel(R) Network Adapter Driver installers for Windows 11 before version 29.4 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| A potential DLL hijacking vulnerability was reported in Lenovo One Client during an internal security assessment that could allow a local authenticated user to execute code with elevated privileges. |
| A vulnerability has been identified in Siemens Software Center (All versions < V3.5), Solid Edge SE2025 (All versions < V225.0 Update 10). The affected application is vulnerable to DLL hijacking. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via placing a crafted DLL file on the system. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in iTop VPN v16.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via placing a crafted DLL file into the path \ProgramData\iTop VPN\Downloader\vpn6. |
| PSEvents.exe in multiple Panda Security products runs hourly with SYSTEM privileges and loads DLL files from a user-writable directory without proper validation. An attacker with low-privileged access who can write DLL files to the monitored directory can achieve arbitrary code execution with SYSTEM privileges. Affected products include Panda Global Protection 2016, Panda Antivirus Pro 2016, Panda Small Business Protection, and Panda Internet Security 2016 (all versions up to 16.1.2). |
| Linux::Statm::Tiny for Perl before 0.0701 allows untrusted code from the current working directory ('.') to be loaded similar to CVE-2016-1238.
If an attacker can place a malicious file in current working directory, it may be loaded instead of the intended file, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution.
Linux::Statm::Tiny uses Mite to produce the affected code section due to CVE-2025-30672 |
| An uncontrolled search path element vulnerability can lead to local privilege Escalation (LPE) via Insecure Directory Permissions. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of directory permissions. An attacker with local access may exploit this flaw to move and delete arbitrary files, potentially gaining SYSTEM privileges. |
| Uncontrolled search path for the FPGA Support Package for the Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler software for Windows before version 2024.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Potential vulnerabilities have been identified in the audio package for certain HP PC products using the Sound Research SECOMN64 driver, which might allow escalation of privilege. Sound Research has released driver updates to mitigate the potential vulnerabilities. |
| Diebold Nixdorf – CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element |
| Notepad++ is a free and open-source source code editor. In versions 8.8.1 and prior, a privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Notepad++ v8.8.1 installer that allows unprivileged users to gain SYSTEM-level privileges through insecure executable search paths. An attacker could use social engineering or clickjacking to trick users into downloading both the legitimate installer and a malicious executable to the same directory (typically Downloads folder - which is known as Vulnerable directory). Upon running the installer, the attack executes automatically with SYSTEM privileges. This issue has been fixed and will be released in version 8.8.2. |
| Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in Forcepoint FIE Endpoint allows Privilege Escalation, Code Injection, Hijacking a privileged process.This issue affects FIE Endpoint: before 25.05. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in CYRISMA Agent before 444 allows local users to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code via multiple DLLs. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in Vivado could allow a local attacker to achieve privilege escalation, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
| Uncontrolled search path in some Intel(R) High Level Synthesis Compiler software for Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition Software before version 24.1 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in the AMD Software Installer could allow an attacker to achieve privilege escalation potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
