Privilege escalation via path hijacking
Published Jul 31, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024
Path hijacking in Lenovo Driver Manager before 3.1.1307.1308 allows local users to execute code with elevated privileges. Lenovo has not published the affected file or function, or the precise path-search operation that accepts an attacker-controlled location. Low-privileged local access is required; successful exploitation executes attacker-controlled code with the application's elevated rights.
