CVE-2022-30696

Local privilege escalation via DLL search hijacking

Published May 16, 2022 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

DLL hijacking in Acronis Snap Deploy for Windows before build 3640 allows local users to elevate privileges through local interaction. An affected component loads a DLL through an uncontrolled search-path element, but Acronis has not identified the executable, DLL, or writable directory. Exploitation requires local access and user interaction and executes attacker-supplied code with higher privileges.
