Local privilege escalation via DLL search-order hijacking
Published Apr 1, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025
DLL search-order hijacking in Delta Electronics DIAEnergie before 1.8.02.004 allows local users to escalate privileges. The affected executable and DLL name are undisclosed; the application loads an attacker-controlled library instead of its intended dependency. Exploitation depends on writable application paths created by the related default-permissions flaw and execution of the affected component.
