| Socket Firewall is an HTTP/HTTPS proxy server that intercepts package manager requests and enforces security policies by blocking dangerous packages. Socket Firewall binary versions (separate from installers) prior to 0.15.5 are vulnerable to arbitrary code execution when run in untrusted project directories. The vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious `.sfw.config` file in a project directory. When a developer runs Socket Firewall commands (e.g., `sfw npm install`) in that directory, the tool loads the `.sfw.config` file and populates environment variables directly into the Node.js process. An attacker can exploit this by setting `NODE_OPTIONS` with a `--require` directive to execute malicious JavaScript code before Socket Firewall's security controls are initialized, effectively bypassing the tool's malicious package detection. The attack vector is indirect and requires a developer to install dependencies for an untrusted project and execute a command within the context of the untrusted project. The vulnerability has been patched in Socket Firewall version 0.15.5. Users should upgrade to version 0.15.5 or later. The fix isolates configuration file values from subprocess environments. Look at `sfw --version` for version information. If users rely on the recommended installation mechanism (e.g. global installation via `npm install -g sfw`) then no workaround is necessary. This wrapper package automatically ensures that users are running the latest version of Socket Firewall. Users who have manually installed the binary and cannot immediately upgrade should avoid running Socket Firewall in untrusted project directories. Before running Socket Firewall in any new project, inspect `.sfw.config` and `.env.local` files for suspicious `NODE_OPTIONS` or other environment variable definitions that reference local files. |
| Uncontrolled search path for the Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility before version 8.0.43 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. System software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts. |
| Emerson ValveLink products
use a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or
more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended
actors. |
| Uncontrolled search path element in some Intel(R) MAS software before version 2.5 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| A DLL hijack vulnerability was reported in Lenovo Baiying that could allow a local attacker to execute code with elevated privileges. |
| A DLL hijack vulnerability was reported in Lenovo Leyun that could allow a local attacker to execute code with elevated privileges. |
| DPMAdirektPro 4.1.5 is vulnerable to DLL Hijacking. It happens by placing a malicious DLL in a directory (in the absence of a legitimate DLL), which is then loaded by the application instead of the legitimate DLL. This causes the malicious DLL to load with the same privileges as the application, thus causing a privilege escalation. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability was reported in the Motorola Software Fix (Rescue and Smart Assistant) installer that could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges during installation of the software. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) Fortran Compiler Classic software before version 2021.13 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| EMS SQL Manager 3.6.2 (build 55333) for Oracle allows DLL hijacking: a user can trigger the execution of arbitrary code every time the product is executed. |
| 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. |
| Insecure Loading of Dynamic Link Libraries have been discovered in USB-CONVERTERCABLE DRIVER, which could allow local attackers to potentially disclose information or execute arbitray code on affected systems.
This issue affects USB-CONVERTERCABLE DRIVER:. |
| A vulnerability was found in OpenSight Software FlashFXP 5.4.0.3970. It has been classified as critical. Affected is an unknown function in the library libcrypto-1_1.dll of the file FlashFXP.exe. The manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler software before version 2025.0.1 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| DLL hijacking vulnerabilities, caused by an uncontrolled search path in the CP210x VCP Windows
installer can lead to privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution when running the impacted installer. |
| Uncontrolled search path for the Intel(R) Trace Analyzer and Collector software all verions may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in AMD Integrated Management Technology (AIM-T) Manageability Service could allow an attacker to achieve privilege escalation potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
| Crucial Storage Executive installer versions prior to 11.08.082025.00 contain a DLL preloading vulnerability. During installation, the installer runs with elevated privileges and loads Windows DLLs using an uncontrolled search path, which can cause a malicious DLL placed alongside the installer to be loaded instead of the intended system library. A local attacker who can convince a victim to run the installer from a directory containing the attacker-supplied DLL can achieve arbitrary code execution with administrator privileges. |
| Notepad++ v8.8.3 has a DLL hijacking vulnerability, which can replace the original DLL file to execute malicious code. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple parties because the behavior only occurs when a user installs the product into a directory tree that allows write access by arbitrary unprivileged users. |
| Uncontrolled search path in some Intel(R) AI for Enterprise Retrieval-augmented Generation software may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
