Title
GeoVision GV-Remote E-Map dll hijacking vulnerability
Summary
A DLL hijacking vulnerability exists in the GeoVision GV-Remote E-Map desktop application. The application loads one or more dynamic-link libraries (DLLs) from an unsafe search path, allowing a local attacker to place a malicious DLL in a location searched before the legitimate library location. If successfully exploited, an attacker with local write access to the affected directory could achieve arbitrary code execution in the security context of the GV-Remote E-Map process.
Severity
7.8 (High)
