Victim-context code execution via arbitrary DLL loading
Published Mar 10, 2026 · Updated Mar 10, 2026
DLL hijacking in SAP GUI for Windows 8.00 allows remote attackers to execute code in a victim user's context via a malicious DLL. With GuiXT enabled, the application searches arbitrary application directories for DLLs and loads an attacker-placed library without constraining the search path. Exploitation requires user interaction to place the DLL and affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability only within the victim user's privileges.
