Arbitrary command execution via untrusted installer search path
Published Apr 4, 2023 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Untrusted search path in Wondershare MobileTrans 4.0.2 allows local users to execute arbitrary commands when a user runs its installer. The mobiletrans_setup_full5793.exe installer searches an attacker-controllable path for a critical resource rather than fixing its location, but public records do not identify the resource, directory, or call. Exploitation requires local placement of a malicious resource and user interaction; resulting code runs with the installer's privileges.
