Summary
Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives. A DLL hijacking vulnerability in Rufus 4.6.2208 and earlier versions allows an attacker loading and executing a malicious DLL with escalated privileges (since the executable has been granted higher privileges during the time of launch) due to the ability to inject a malicious `cfgmgr32.dll` in the same directory as the executable and have it side load automatically. This is fixed in commit `74dfa49`, which will be part of version 4.7. Users are advised to upgrade as soon as version 4.7 becomes available. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability.

Una vulnerabilidad de secuestro de DLL en Rufus 4.6.2208 y versiones anteriores permite que un atacante cargue y ejecute una DLL maliciosa con privilegios escalados (ya que al ejecutable se les ha otorgado privilegios m\u00e1s altos durante el tiempo de lanzamiento) debido a la capacidad de inyectar un `CFGMGR32 malicioso. dll` en el mismo directorio que el ejecutable y haga que se cargue lateralmente autom\u00e1ticamente. Esto se soluciona en el commit `74DFA49`, que ser\u00e1 parte de la versi\u00f3n 4.7. Se recomienda a los usuarios que actualicen tan pronto como est\u00e9 disponible la versi\u00f3n 4.7. No se conocen workarounds para esta vulnerabilidad."
