CVE-2026-102262: CWE-668 Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere in Newell Brands DYMO ID
Description
CVE-2026-102262 is a vulnerability in Newell Brands DYMO ID versions 1.5.1.71 up to but not including 1.6.0. The software resolves its plugin Modules directory relative to the process working directory. An attacker can exploit this by placing a malicious job file alongside malicious modules or DLLs, causing the process working directory to be set to the attacker's folder when the victim opens the file. This results in code execution at the victim's privilege level. The issue is fixed in version 1.6.0.
