CVE-2025-9267 (GCVE-0-2025-9267)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-09-26 12:27 – Updated: 2025-09-29 14:37
VLAI
Summary
In Seagate Toolkit on Windows a vulnerability exists in the Toolkit Installer prior to versions 2.35.0.6 where it attempts to load DLLs from the current working directory without validating their origin or integrity. This behavior can be exploited by placing a malicious DLL in the same directory as the installer executable, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the installer. The issue stems from the use of insecure DLL loading practices, such as relying on relative paths or failing to specify fully qualified paths when invoking system libraries.

Title
Discord Client Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability
Summary
Discord Client Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Discord Client. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the discord_rpc module. The product loads a file from an unsecured location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of a target user. Was ZDI-CAN-27057.

Title
Arbitrary code execution in MobaXterm Personal Edition (Portable)
Summary
MobaXterm Personal Edition (Portable), in its 26.3 version (Build 5154), allows arbitrary code execution by loading malicious DLLs from a temporary directory that is predictable and can be modified by the user. During startup, the application searches for specific DLLs in this location before resorting to the system’s secure paths, enabling an attacker with local access to place a specially crafted DLL to be executed automatically when the victim launches the application.

CVE-2026-11958 (GCVE-0-2026-11958)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-18 11:01 – Updated: 2026-06-18 12:28

Title
Local privilege escalation in ANSSI’s DFIR-ORC
Summary
Local privilege escalation by loading DLLs from a shared temporary directory in ANSSI’s DFIR-ORC, versions 10.2.7 and prior. An attacker with prior access to the system, can place a malicious DLL in C:\Windows\Temp and wait for the application to be executed. Because DFIR-ORC is extracted and executed from that location with administrative privileges, the malicious library can be loaded automatically, allowing the attacker to gain administrator privileges on the affected machine.

CVE-2026-11967 (GCVE-0-2026-11967)

Title
Arbitrary code execution in MobaXterm Personal Edition (Portable)
Summary
MobaXterm Personal Edition (Portable), in its 26.3 version (Build 5154), allows arbitrary code execution by loading a malicious DLL located in the same directory as the portable executable. Because the application automatically loads the winspool.drv library from that location during startup, an attacker with local access can place a specially crafted DLL alongside the executable to be executed when the victim launches the application.

Mitigation

Phases: Architecture and Design, Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Description:

  • Hard-code the search path to a set of known-safe values (such as system directories), or only allow them to be specified by the administrator in a configuration file. Do not allow these settings to be modified by an external party. Be careful to avoid related weaknesses such as CWE-426 and CWE-428.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Description:

  • When invoking other programs, specify those programs using fully-qualified pathnames. While this is an effective approach, code that uses fully-qualified pathnames might not be portable to other systems that do not use the same pathnames. The portability can be improved by locating the full-qualified paths in a centralized, easily-modifiable location within the source code, and having the code refer to these paths.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Description:

  • Remove or restrict all environment settings before invoking other programs. This includes the PATH environment variable, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and other settings that identify the location of code libraries, and any application-specific search paths.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Description:

  • Check your search path before use and remove any elements that are likely to be unsafe, such as the current working directory or a temporary files directory. Since this is a denylist approach, it might not be a complete solution.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Description:

  • Use other functions that require explicit paths. Making use of any of the other readily available functions that require explicit paths is a safe way to avoid this problem. For example, system() in C does not require a full path since the shell can take care of finding the program using the PATH environment variable, while execl() and execv() require a full path.
CAPEC-38: Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths

This pattern of attack sees an adversary load a malicious resource into a program's standard path so that when a known command is executed then the system instead executes the malicious component. The adversary can either modify the search path a program uses, like a PATH variable or classpath, or they can manipulate resources on the path to point to their malicious components. J2EE applications and other component based applications that are built from multiple binaries can have very long list of dependencies to execute. If one of these libraries and/or references is controllable by the attacker then application controls can be circumvented by the attacker.

CAPEC-471: Search Order Hijacking

An adversary exploits a weakness in an application's specification of external libraries to exploit the functionality of the loader where the process loading the library searches first in the same directory in which the process binary resides and then in other directories. Exploitation of this preferential search order can allow an attacker to make the loading process load the adversary's rogue library rather than the legitimate library. This attack can be leveraged with many different libraries and with many different loading processes. No forensic trails are left in the system's registry or file system that an incorrect library had been loaded.
