CVE-2024-45281

Local code execution via untrusted DLL search path

Published Sep 10, 2024 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

DLL hijacking in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform 4.3 allows local users to execute code through client applications. Affected desktop clients load DLLs whose digital signatures are missing or invalid instead of rejecting them, enabling attacker-controlled library code to run. Exploitation requires local high privileges and user interaction; successful loading exposes application confidentiality and integrity without interrupting service.
