| IBM i 7.6, 7.5, 7.4, and 7.3 could allow a remote authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code due to an uncontrolled search path element. |
| A privilege escalation (PE) vulnerability in the Palo Alto Networks Prisma® Access Agent app on Windows and macOS devices enables a local user to execute code with elevated privileges.
The Prisma Access Agent on Linux, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS is not affected. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some EquiTriton before version f5ddbb5 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low 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 passive 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 for some Approximate Bayesian Inference Framework before version on commit #484c949 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low 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 passive 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 for some Hardware-Aware-Automated-MachineLearning NA before version 45cd723 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low 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 passive 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. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability within the AMD Ryzen Master installation could allow a local user-privileged attacker to escalate privileges, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
| Uncontrolled search paths in the Vitis™ Embedded Single File Download (SFD) for local Windows installation could allow a low-privileged user to create arbitrary code execution. |
| Uncontrolled search paths in Vitis™ Unified installation path on local Windows machines could allow DLL injection into these install paths, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in AMD Power Design Manager could allow a malicious local attacker to escalate privileges during the uninstallation process, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
| A vulnerability has been identified in LineInst.exe (LINE for Windows) prior to version 26.4.0, where Msftedit.dll is loaded via a relative path without a secure DLL search path, allowing a malicious DLL placed in the installer's directory to be loaded ahead of the legitimate System32 copy. |
| To allow builds of Python to be run from an in-tree layout (rather than
an installed file layout), the VPATH variable is defined at build time
and used to locate certain landmarks - specifically,
Modules/setup.local. When this landmark is found relative to VPATH
relative to the executable, Python assumes it is running in a source
tree and generates a different default sys.path. This code remains in
release builds, so that release-ready builds can be built in-tree.
On Windows, since builds are written to 'PCbuild/', the value of
VPATH is set to '..\..', which results in a landmark of
'..\..\Modules\setup.local'. This path is outside the install directory
of Python, and may have different permissions, potentially allowing a
low-privilege user to create the landmark and an alternative `Lib`
folder that will be discovered by an otherwise restricted install.
Such a setup occurs with the legacy default install location for all
users (in the now superseded EXE installer), due to how Windows allows
all users to create folders in the root directory of their OS drive.
Our recommended mitigation on Windows is to migrate away from the
legacy installer and use the new [Python install
manager](https://www.python.org/downloads/latest/pymanager/) to install
for the current user. Installs where the directory two levels above the
Python installation directory have equivalent permissions are unaffected
(in general, a per-user install cannot be modified at all by other
users, removing any escalation of privilege risk, and could be directly
modified by a privileged user, making the potential tampering
irrelevant). Alternative mitigations might include preemptively creating
and restricting access to a `Modules` directory. Be aware that only 3.13
and 3.14 will receive updated legacy installers - earlier fixes are only
provided as sources.
Platforms other than Windows allow VPATH to be overridden, but as they
don't usually use a separated directory in the build for binaries, are
unlikely to have a landmark reference outside of the install directory.
The landmark detection involving VPATH is a fallback for when a more
specific landmark - .\pybuilddir.txt - is absent, and was included for
compatibility. Future releases of Python will no longer include the
fallback, and so builds will need to generate or preserve the
pybuilddir.txt file in order to work in-tree. This landmark file has
been generated on Windows since 3.11, and on other platforms for longer. |
| Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in WatchGuard Agent on Windows allows Using Malicious Files. |
| DLL Search Order Hijacking in LUCID Vision Labs Arena SDK 1.0.80.49 on Windows allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application by placing a malicious DLL in a user-controlled directory listed in the PATH environment variable, which the SDK traverses when a required dependency is not found locally. |
| A flaw was found in PipeWire, a multimedia server. This vulnerability allows an attacker to escape sandboxed applications, such as Flatpak, by exploiting PipeWire's PulseAudio compatibility layer. An attacker with minimal permissions within a sandboxed environment can load a malicious library, leading to arbitrary code execution outside the sandbox and potential compromise of the user's system. |
| An uncontrolled search path element in Kiro IDE before version 1.0.228 on Windows might allow a remote unauthenticated actor to execute arbitrary code via a maliciously crafted project directory containing an executable that bypasses workspace trust protections when a local user opens the directory.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 1.0.228 or higher. |
| NetKids iMark, provided by Integrated Systems Technologies, Inc., contains an Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability (CWE-427). An authenticated attacker may exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. |
| Ghidra contains an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the Swift demangler analyzer that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary binaries by supplying a malicious Ghidra project with a crafted Swift tool directory path. When a victim opens the attacker-supplied project, SwiftDemanglerAnalyzer restores the persisted Swift binary directory from project state and SwiftNativeDemangler executes the resolved binary without integrity or signature verification, causing attacker-controlled executables to run under the Ghidra process user with no prompt or confirmation. |
| The user-controllable executable files will be directly executed by high-privilege processes, allowing low-privilege users to have the opportunity to elevate their privileges to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. |
| An uncontrolled search path element in Kiro CLI before version 2.10.0 on Windows might allow a remote unauthenticated actor to execute arbitrary code via a maliciously crafted project directory containing an executable that bypasses workspace trust protections when a local user starts Kiro CLI in the directory.
To remediate this issue, users should upgrade to version 2.10.0 or higher. |
| A security flaw has been discovered in CheckMAL AppCheck Pro 3.1.43.10. Affected is an unknown function in the library AppCheckD.sys of the component Kernel Mini-Filter Driver. Performing a manipulation results in uncontrolled search path. The attack requires a local approach. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitability is told to be difficult. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. |
