CVE-2025-10213

Local code execution via user-writable DLL path

Published Sep 10, 2025 · Updated Sep 10, 2025

DLL search path hijacking in UPDF 1.8.5.0 for Windows allows local users to execute arbitrary code through a crafted dxtn.dll file. UPDF.exe searches for dxtn.dll in the user-writable WindowsApps directory and loads the attacker-controlled library instead of the intended dependency. Local access and placement of the file in the targeted user's profile are required, after which code runs in the UPDF process and can establish persistence.
