CVE-2026-78574: Untrusted Search Path in Okta Okta Hyperdrive Integration Plugin
CVE-2026-78574 is a high severity vulnerability in the Okta Hyperdrive Integration Plugin version 1.2.0. The plugin loads a required assembly from a registry path in the current user's hive without verifying the assembly's integrity or signature. This untrusted search path allows an attacker with low privileges to execute a malicious assembly within the context of the host process or an elevated installer, potentially leading to full compromise of confidentiality and integrity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Okta Hyperdrive Integration Plugin version 1.2.0 resolves a required assembly using a registry path located in the current user's hive. This path is loaded via Assembly.LoadFrom without any signature or integrity verification. As a result, an attacker with low privileges can place a malicious assembly at the referenced location, which will be loaded and executed by the plugin with the privileges of the host process or elevated installer. This untrusted search path vulnerability can lead to complete compromise of confidentiality and integrity of the affected system.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker with low privileges to execute arbitrary code within the context of the host process or an elevated installer. This can lead to full compromise of confidentiality and integrity of the system. Availability impact is not indicated.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, avoid running the vulnerable version 1.2.0 of the Okta Hyperdrive Integration Plugin or restrict access to the current user's registry hive paths used by the plugin to prevent untrusted assembly loading.
