Privilege escalation via unchecked dynamic DLL loading
Published Feb 11, 2025 · Updated Feb 12, 2025
DLL hijacking in AMD AIM-T Manageability Service before 4.0.0.722 allows local users to execute code with elevated privileges. The elevated Windows service dynamically loads DLLs without checks that prevent attacker-controlled library resolution. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and user interaction, after which injected code runs with the service's elevated rights.
