Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In February 2018 (File inclusion)

An issue was discovered in PureVPN through 5.19.4.0 on Windows. The client installation grants the Everyone group Full Control permission to the installation directory. In addition, the PureVPNService.exe service, which runs under NT Authority\SYSTEM privileges, tries to load several dynamic-link libraries using relative paths instead of the absolute path. When not using a fully qualified path, the application will first try to load the library from the directory from which the application is started. As the residing directory of PureVPNService.exe is writable to all users, this makes the application susceptible to privilege escalation through DLL hijacking.

March Hare WINCVS before 2.8.01 build 6610, and CVS Suite before 2009R2 build 6610, contains an Insecure Library Loading vulnerability in the wincvs2.exe or wincvs.exe file, which may allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Python or TCL DLL file in the current working directory.

In Sophos Tester Tool 3.2.0.7 Beta, the driver loads (in the context of the application used to test an exploit or ransomware) the DLL using a payload that runs from NTDLL.DLL (so, it's run in userland), but the driver doesn't perform any validation of this DLL (not its signature, not its hash, etc.). A person can change this DLL in a local way, or with a remote connection, to a malicious DLL with the same name -- and when the product is used, this malicious DLL will be loaded, aka a DLL Hijacking attack.

A DLL Hijacking vulnerability in Trend Micro's User-Mode Hooking Module (UMH) could allow an attacker to run arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Anshin net security for Windows Version 16.0.1.44 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in FLET'S v4 / v6 address selection tool allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in "FLET'S Azukeru Backup Tool" version 1.5.2.6 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

IBM iNotes 8.5 and 9.0 SUService can be misguided into running malicious code from a DLL masquerading as a windows DLL in the temp directory. IBM X-Force ID: 134532.
