CVE-2018-5238 7.8 HIGH EPSS 0.00

Norton Power Eraser (prior to 5.3.0.24) and SymDiag (prior to 2.1.242) may be susceptible to a DLL Preloading vulnerability, which is a type of issue that can occur when an application looks to call a DLL for execution and an attacker provides a malicious DLL to use instead. Depending on how the application is configured, it will generally follow a specific search path to locate the DLL. The vulnerability can be exploited by a simple file write (or potentially an over-write) which results in a foreign DLL running under the context of the application.

CWE-427 Mar 27, 2018

CVE-2018-5457 7.0 HIGH EPSS 0.00

A uncontrolled search path element issue was discovered in Vyaire Medical CareFusion Upgrade Utility used with Windows XP systems, Versions 2.0.2.2 and prior versions. A successful exploit of this vulnerability requires the local user to install a crafted DLL on the target machine. The application loads the DLL and gives the attacker access at the same privilege level as the application.

CWE-427 Feb 06, 2018

CVE-2017-5170 7.2 HIGH EPSS 0.01

An Uncontrolled Search Path Element issue was discovered in Moxa SoftNVR-IA Live Viewer, Version 3.30.3122 and prior versions. An uncontrolled search path element (DLL Hijacking) vulnerability has been identified. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker could rename a malicious DLL to meet the criteria of the application, and the application would not verify that the DLL is correct. The attacker needs to have administrative access to the default install location in order to plant the insecure DLL. Once loaded by the application, the DLL could run malicious code at the privilege level of the application.

CWE-427 Jan 18, 2018

CVE-2017-16777 7.8 HIGH 1 PoC Analysis EPSS 0.00

If HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) 5.0.3 is installed but VMware Fusion is not, a local attacker can create a fake application directory and exploit the suid sudo helper in order to escalate to root.

CWE-427 Nov 16, 2017

CVE-2017-12314 7.8 HIGH EPSS 0.00

A vulnerability in the Cisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a DLL preloading attack, potentially causing a partial impact to the device availability, confidentiality, and integrity, aka Insecure Library Loading. The vulnerability is due to the application loading a malicious copy of a specific, nondefined DLL file instead of the DLL file it was expecting. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by placing an affected DLL within the search path of the host system. An exploit could allow the attacker to load a malicious DLL file into the system, thus partially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the device. Cisco Bug IDs: CSCvf37955.

CWE-427 Nov 16, 2017

CVE-2017-12313 6.7 MEDIUM EPSS 0.00

An untrusted search path (aka DLL Preload) vulnerability in the Cisco Network Academy Packet Tracer software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary code via DLL hijacking if a local user with administrative privileges executes the installer in the current working directory where a crafted DLL has been placed by an attacker. The vulnerability is due to incomplete input validation of path and file names of a DLL file before it is loaded. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a malicious DLL file and installing it in a specific system directory. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands on the underlying Microsoft Windows host with privileges equivalent to the SYSTEM account. An attacker would need valid user credentials to exploit this vulnerability.
