Local privilege escalation via DLL hijacking
Published Nov 23, 2025 · Updated Nov 24, 2025
DLL hijacking in AMD StoreMI allows local users to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code after user interaction. AMD has not published the vulnerable executable, DLL name, search location, or load operation that accepts attacker-controlled library placement. Exploitation requires low local privileges and user interaction, after which attacker-supplied code runs with elevated rights and can read, modify, or interrupt system resources.
