Local code execution via installer DLL preloading
Published Mar 25, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024
DLL hijacking in the Bosch Monitor Wall installer 10.00.0164 and earlier allows local users to execute arbitrary code. The installer resolves a required DLL through a search path that includes its launch directory and loads an attacker-placed library from that directory. Exploitation requires a victim to place the malicious DLL beside the installer and start it; the code then runs in the victim's context.
