Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2024-09-04 12:35 – Updated: 2024-09-04 13:15
VLAI?
Summary
A local privilege escalation is caused by Overwolf loading and executing certain dynamic link library files from a user-writeable folder in SYSTEM context on launch. This allows an attacker with unprivileged access to the system to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by placing a malicious .dll file in the respective location.
Severity ?
7.8 (High)
