CVE-2022-24077

SYSTEM code execution via malicious DLL loading

Published Jun 13, 2022 · Updated Aug 3, 2024

DLL search-path hijacking in all versions of NAVER Cloud Explorer Beta allows local users to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The application loads a malicious DLL from an attacker-controllable search-path location instead of the intended library. Exploitation requires local DLL placement and user interaction; successful code runs as SYSTEM and can fully compromise the Windows host.
