CVE-2025-10214

Local code execution via planted FREngine.dll

Published Sep 10, 2025 · Updated Sep 10, 2025

DLL search path hijacking in Superace Software Technology Co., Ltd. UPDF 1.8.5.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code on Windows. UPDF.exe searches the user-writable AppData\Local\UPDF\FREngine\Bin64 directory for FREngine.dll and loads an attacker-planted copy. A local user must plant the library and induce a launch of UPDF; the payload then runs in the launching user's context and can persist.
