Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in D-Link D-View 8 up to 2.0.1.107. This affects an unknown functionality in the library version.dll. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a uncontrolled search path vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-427. The product uses a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended actors. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

D-Link D-View 8 versions 2.0.1.107 and below contain an uncontrolled search path vulnerability in the installer. When executed with elevated privileges via UAC, the installer attempts to load version.dll from its execution directory, allowing DLL preloading. An attacker can supply a malicious version.dll alongside the legitimate installer so that, when a victim runs the installer and approves the UAC prompt, attacker-controlled code executes with administrator privileges. This can lead to full system compromise.
