Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-08-03 21:31 – Updated: 2026-08-03 21:31

Details

FirmaCheck for Windows before 1.3.16 contains a dll hijacking vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by placing a crafted openssl.cnf file in the unvalidated C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL\ directory path. Attackers can write a malicious OpenSSL configuration file referencing an attacker-controlled DLL to achieve code execution at startup process privilege level when FirmaCheck.exe runs automatically at system startup.
