CVSS v3.1 |
| `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. |
| 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. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in Vivado could allow a local attacker to achieve privilege escalation, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in CYRISMA Agent before 444 allows local users to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code via multiple DLLs. |
| When the service of ABP and AES is installed in a directory writable by non-administrative users, an attacker can replace or plant a DLL with the same name as one loaded by the service. Upon service restart, the malicious DLL is loaded and executed under the LocalSystem account, resulting in unauthorized code execution with elevated privileges.
This issue affects ABP and AES: from ABP 2.0 through 2.0.7.9050, from AES 1.0 through 1.0.6.8290. |
| 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) High Level Synthesis Compiler software before version 24.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| A potential DLL hijacking vulnerability was discovered in Lenovo Browser during an internal security assessment that could allow a local user to execute code with elevated privileges. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability was reported in the Lenovo App Store and Lenovo Browser applications that could allow a local authenticated user to execute code with elevated privileges under certain conditions. |
| A security vulnerability has been detected in LibreWolf up to 143.0.4-1 on Windows. This affects an unknown function of the file assets/setup.nsi of the component Installer. Such manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. The attack must be carried out locally. Attacks of this nature are highly complex. The exploitability is reported as difficult. Upgrading to version 144.0-1 mitigates this issue. The name of the patch is dd10e31dd873e9cb309fad8aed921d45bf905a55. It is suggested to upgrade the affected component. |
| Uncontrolled search path for the Intel(R) Server Board S2600ST Family BIOS and Firmware Update software all versions may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path in some Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler before version 2024.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element |
| 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. |
| A vulnerability has been found in Scooter Software Beyond Compare up to 3.3.5.15075 and classified as critical. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality in the library 7zxa.dll. The manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. Attacking locally is a requirement. The real existence of this vulnerability is still doubted at the moment. The vendor explains that a system must be breached before exploiting this issue. They are not planning on making any changes to address it. |
| Uncontrolled search path in the Intel(R) Graphics Driver installers for versions 15.40 and 15.45 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path for the FPGA Support Package for the Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler software for Windows before version 2024.2 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some EPCT software before version 1.42.8.0 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 has been identified in Siemens Software Center (All versions < V3.5), Solid Edge SE2025 (All versions < V225.0 Update 10). The affected application is vulnerable to DLL hijacking. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code via placing a crafted DLL file on the system. |
