CVE-2024-6618

Local code execution via malicious DLL injection

Published Aug 13, 2024 · Updated Aug 20, 2024

Path traversal in Dream Report 2023 and Reports for Operations 2023 allows local users to execute arbitrary code through a malicious DLL. The vendors have not disclosed the affected file-handling locus; published advisories state that inadequate path restriction permits DLL injection. Low-privileged local access is required, and resulting code runs with the privileges of the interactive product user.
