CVE-2023-27761Public exploit

Command execution via unsafe installer search path

Published Apr 4, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025

Untrusted search path in Wondershare UniConverter 14.0.0 allows attackers to execute commands when a user runs the Windows installer. The public report identifies uniconverter14_64bit_setup_full14204.exe as the locus but does not disclose the searched path, library name, or unsafe loading call. Exploitation requires user interaction and control of a location searched by the installer; resulting code runs with the installer user's privileges.
