CWE-427

Uncontrolled Search Path Element

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.

CVE-2025-35972 (GCVE-0-2025-35972)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-11-11 16:51 – Updated: 2026-02-26 16:57
VLAI
Summary
Uncontrolled search path for the Intel MPI Library before version 2021.16 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

CVE-2025-36515 (GCVE-0-2025-36515)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-12 16:35 – Updated: 2026-05-12 17:06
VLAI
Summary
Uncontrolled search path for some AI Playground software before version 3.0.0 alpha within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with an authenticated user combined with a high complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires active user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

CVE-2025-40763 (GCVE-0-2025-40763)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-11-11 20:20 – Updated: 2025-11-12 18:41
VLAI
Summary
A vulnerability has been identified in Altair Grid Engine (All versions < V2026.0.0). Affected products do not properly validate environment variables when loading shared libraries, allowing path hijacking through malicious library substitution. This could allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges by manipulating the environment variable and placing a malicious library in the controlled path.

CVE-2025-41670 (GCVE-0-2025-41670)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-05-27 07:17 – Updated: 2026-05-27 12:04
VLAI
Title
Untrusted Search Path
Summary
A local user with low privileges may be able to influence the behavior of a privileged system service by manipulating configuration or application-related files located in user-writable areas of the filesystem. The affected service processes data from locations that are not sufficiently protected against modification by low-privileged users. As the service runs with elevated privileges, successful exploitation may result in a local privilege escalation.

Title
Substance3D - Modeler | Uncontrolled Search Path Element (CWE-427)
Summary
Substance3D - Modeler versions 1.21.0 and earlier are affected by an Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability that could result in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. If the application relies on a search path to locate critical resources such as libraries or executables, an attacker could manipulate the search path to load a malicious resource, potentially executing arbitrary code. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file.

Title
Patch My PC Home Updater System.IO uncontrolled search path
Summary
A vulnerability was found in Patch My PC Home Updater up to 5.1.3.0. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing in the library advapi32.dll/BCrypt.dll/comctl32.dll/crypt32.dll/dwmapi.dll/gdi32.dll/gdiplus.dll/imm32.dll/iphlpapi.dll/kernel32.dll/mscms.dll/msctf.dll/ntdll.dll/ole32.dll/oleaut32.dll/PresentationNative_cor3.dll/secur32.dll/shcore.dll/shell32.dll/sspicli.dll/System.IO. The manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Mitigation

Phases: Architecture and Design, Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Description:

  • Hard-code the search path to a set of known-safe values (such as system directories), or only allow them to be specified by the administrator in a configuration file. Do not allow these settings to be modified by an external party. Be careful to avoid related weaknesses such as CWE-426 and CWE-428.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Description:

  • When invoking other programs, specify those programs using fully-qualified pathnames. While this is an effective approach, code that uses fully-qualified pathnames might not be portable to other systems that do not use the same pathnames. The portability can be improved by locating the full-qualified paths in a centralized, easily-modifiable location within the source code, and having the code refer to these paths.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Strategy: Attack Surface Reduction

Description:

  • Remove or restrict all environment settings before invoking other programs. This includes the PATH environment variable, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and other settings that identify the location of code libraries, and any application-specific search paths.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Description:

  • Check your search path before use and remove any elements that are likely to be unsafe, such as the current working directory or a temporary files directory. Since this is a denylist approach, it might not be a complete solution.
Mitigation

Phase: Implementation

Description:

  • Use other functions that require explicit paths. Making use of any of the other readily available functions that require explicit paths is a safe way to avoid this problem. For example, system() in C does not require a full path since the shell can take care of finding the program using the PATH environment variable, while execl() and execv() require a full path.
CAPEC-38: Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths

This pattern of attack sees an adversary load a malicious resource into a program's standard path so that when a known command is executed then the system instead executes the malicious component. The adversary can either modify the search path a program uses, like a PATH variable or classpath, or they can manipulate resources on the path to point to their malicious components. J2EE applications and other component based applications that are built from multiple binaries can have very long list of dependencies to execute. If one of these libraries and/or references is controllable by the attacker then application controls can be circumvented by the attacker.

CAPEC-471: Search Order Hijacking

An adversary exploits a weakness in an application's specification of external libraries to exploit the functionality of the loader where the process loading the library searches first in the same directory in which the process binary resides and then in other directories. Exploitation of this preferential search order can allow an attacker to make the loading process load the adversary's rogue library rather than the legitimate library. This attack can be leveraged with many different libraries and with many different loading processes. No forensic trails are left in the system's registry or file system that an incorrect library had been loaded.
