| Uncontrolled search path for the Intel(R) Thread Director Visualizer software before version 1.0.1 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Chipset Software Installation Utility before version 10.1.19867.8574 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) DSA software before version 25.2.15.9 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| NVIDIA NVApp for Windows contains a vulnerability in the installer, where a local attacker can cause a search path element issue. A successful exploit of this vulnerability might lead to code execution and escalation of privileges. |
| `gix-path` is a crate of the `gitoxide` project (an implementation of `git` written in Rust) dealing paths and their conversions. Prior to version 0.10.11, `gix-path` runs `git` to find the path of a configuration file associated with the `git` installation, but improperly resolves paths containing unusual or non-ASCII characters, in rare cases enabling a local attacker to inject configuration leading to code execution. Version 0.10.11 contains a patch for the issue.
In `gix_path::env`, the underlying implementation of the `installation_config` and `installation_config_prefix` functions calls `git config -l --show-origin` to find the path of a file to treat as belonging to the `git` installation. Affected versions of `gix-path` do not pass `-z`/`--null` to cause `git` to report literal paths. Instead, to cover the occasional case that `git` outputs a quoted path, they attempt to parse the path by stripping the quotation marks. The problem is that, when a path is quoted, it may change in substantial ways beyond the concatenation of quotation marks. If not reversed, these changes can result in another valid path that is not equivalent to the original.
On a single-user system, it is not possible to exploit this, unless `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM` and `GIT_CONFIG_GLOBAL` have been set to unusual values or Git has been installed in an unusual way. Such a scenario is not expected. Exploitation is unlikely even on a multi-user system, though it is plausible in some uncommon configurations or use cases. In general, exploitation is more likely to succeed if users are expected to install `git` themselves, and are likely to do so in predictable locations; locations where `git` is installed, whether due to usernames in their paths or otherwise, contain characters that `git` quotes by default in paths, such as non-English letters and accented letters; a custom `system`-scope configuration file is specified with the `GIT_CONFIG_SYSTEM` environment variable, and its path is in an unusual location or has strangely named components; or a `system`-scope configuration file is absent, empty, or suppressed by means other than `GIT_CONFIG_NOSYSTEM`. Currently, `gix-path` can treat a `global`-scope configuration file as belonging to the installation if no higher scope configuration file is available. This increases the likelihood of exploitation even on a system where `git` is installed system-wide in an ordinary way. However, exploitation is expected to be very difficult even under any combination of those factors. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler software before version 2025.0.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Graphics Driver software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Trial installer for McAfee Total Protection (legacy trial installer software) 16.0.53 allows local privilege escalation because of an Uncontrolled Search Path Element. The attacker could be "an adversary or knowledgeable user" and the type of attack could be called "DLL-squatting." The issue only affects execution of this installer, and does not leave McAfee Total Protection in a vulnerable state after installation is completed. NOTE: This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in iTop VPN v16.0 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via placing a crafted DLL file into the path \ProgramData\iTop VPN\Downloader\vpn6. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Graphics software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path element for some Intel(R) Driver & Support Assistant Tool software before version 24.6.49.8 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| A vulnerability was found in IObit iTop Data Recovery Pro 4.4.0.687. It has been declared as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality in the library madbasic_.bpl of the component BPL Handler. The manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. Local access is required to approach this attack. The associated identifier of this vulnerability is VDB-273247. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. |
| A vulnerability was found in Blizzard Battle.Net up to 2.39.0.15212 on Windows and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality in the library profapi.dll. The manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. The attack needs to be approached locally. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The vendor assigns this issue a low risk level. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability was reported in TrackPoint Quick Menu software that, under certain conditions, could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges. |
| Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS64 versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Hyper Historian versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric GENESIS32 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric MC Works64 all versions, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS64 versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions ICONICS Suite versions 10.97.3 and prior, Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions Hyper Historian versions 10.97.3 and prior, and Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions GENESIS32 all versions allows a local authenticated attacker to execute a malicious code by storing a specially crafted DLL in a specific folder. This could lead to disclose, tamper with, destroy, or delete information in the affected products, or to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on the products. |
