CVE-2025-43993

Local code execution via unquoted search path

Published Sep 25, 2025 · Updated Sep 25, 2025

Unquoted path handling in Dell Wireless 5932e and Snapdragon X62 drivers before 3.2.0.22 allows local users to execute code. Dell has not disclosed which executable path is unquoted or the component that launches it, so the precise code locus remains unpublished. Low-privileged local access is required; successful path interception runs attacker-controlled code in the vulnerable component's execution context.
