Local privilege escalation via DLL hijacking
Published Oct 11, 2024 · Updated Oct 11, 2024
DLL hijacking in Lenovo Baiying before 2.0 allows local users to execute code with elevated privileges. Lenovo has not disclosed the executable, DLL name, search directory, or load operation responsible for the uncontrolled search path. Exploitation requires low-privilege local access; successful code runs with elevated privileges and can affect data and service operation in that context.
