Local code execution via DLL search hijacking
Published Jun 10, 2020 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
DLL search-order hijacking in McAfee Agent before 5.6.4 allows local users to execute arbitrary code from a compromised folder. Trellix has not disclosed the affected executable or DLL name; the agent searches an uncontrolled path and loads an attacker-controlled library. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and user interaction, and no remote attack path is reported.
