02 Description
DLL Injection Privilege Escalation
03 Exploitation and scoring
- Exploitation
- Assessed, none found. CISA's assessment recorded neither public exploit code nor evidence of exploitation when it was made.
- SSVC decision
- ExploitationnoneCISA recorded no public exploit code and no evidence of exploitation.
- AutomatablenoAt least one step from reconnaissance to exploitation cannot be reliably automated.
- Technical ImpacttotalSuccessful exploitation gives total control of the vulnerable component.
- EPSS probability
- 0.19% probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days.
- EPSS percentile
- Equal to or higher than the score of 8.9% of scored records. A rank, not a probability.
- NVD base score
- 8.4 (CVSS v4.0), scored by the NVD independently of the CNA.

07 Remediation
The issue can be resolved by modifying the application to load DLL dependencies using absolute paths or by restricting DLL loading to trusted directories such as system library locations. Additionally, implementing digital signature verification for loaded libraries can prevent malicious DLLs from being executed.
