CWE-428 vulnerabilities

Dell OS Recovery tool versions prior to 2.4.4 contain an unquoted search path vulnerability (CWE-428) that allows an unauthenticated local attacker to execute arbitrary commands. This vulnerability is fixed in version 2.4.4.

ZohoCorp ManageEngine OpManager and Network Configuration Manager versions before 12.8.671 were vulnerable to an unauthorized Path Traversal vulnerability.

Dell Inventory Collector Client, versions prior to 15.0.0, contain an Unquoted Search Path or Element vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Code execution and Elevation of Privileges

Suricata is a network Intrusion Detection System, Intrusion Prevention System and Network Security Monitoring engine. Prior to 7.0.17 and 8.0.6, the Windows service installation and parameter-update logic in src/win32-service.c can pass an unquoted service ImagePath to CreateServiceA. When Suricata is installed below a path containing spaces and an earlier path component is writable by a local low-privileged attacker, Windows can execute an attacker-controlled program as LocalSystem, resulting in local privilege escalation. This issue is fixed in versions 8.0.6 and 7.0.17.

Maono Link 3.8.13 MaonoAiServices Windows service allows local privilege escalation for a standard user account via improper write privileges in 'C:\ProgramData\Maono'. Fixed in 4.0.80.

CVE-2026-18755 is a DLL hijacking vulnerability in GeoVision Inc.'s GV-ASManager version 6.3.0. It allows a local attacker with write access to an unsafe search directory to execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious DLL earlier in the search path. The malicious code runs with the privileges of the GV-ASManager process. The vulnerability has a high severity score of 7.3 and requires local privileges with user interaction to exploit.

A code execution security issue exists within Studio 5000 Logix Designer® due to an unquoted search path in the External Tools configuration. The executable paths specified in the external tools configuration file are not properly quoted, and because these paths contain spaces, the operating system may resolve them to unintended executables placed earlier in the search order. If exploited, an attacker could plant a malicious executable in a location within the search path, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the same permissions of the user running the application.

The HP Fan Control App might allow local escalation of privileges. An updated version of HP Fan Control App has been released to mitigate this potential vulnerability.

AVACAST developed by eMPIA Technology has a Unquoted Service Path vulnerability, allowing privileged local attackers to place a malicious executable file in a specific directory, resulting in arbitrary code execution with system privileges when the AVACAST service starts.

CVE-2026-5789 is a high-severity vulnerability in CivetWeb version 1.16 involving an unquoted search path in the service configuration. This flaw allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by placing a malicious executable in a directory that is searched before the legitimate application path due to missing quotes around the executable path.

Vulnerability related to an unquoted service path in Small HTTP Server 3.06.36, specifically affecting the executable located at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\shttps_mg\http.exe service'. This misconfiguration allows a local attacker to place a malicious executable with the same name in a higher priority directory, causing the service to execute the malicious file instead of the legitimate one. Exploiting this flaw could allow arbitrary code execution, unauthorized access to the system, or service disruption. To mitigate the risk, the service path must be properly quoted, and systems must be kept up to date with security patches, while restricting physical and network access.

MobaXterm versions prior to 26.1 contain an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability. The application calls WinExec to execute Notepad++ without a fully qualified executable path when opening remote files. An attacker can exploit the search path behavior by placing a malicious executable earlier in the search order, resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected user.

An unquoted Windows service executable path vulnerability in IJ Scan Utility for Windows versions 1.1.2 through 1.5.0 may allow a local attacker to execute a malicious file with the privileges of the affected service.

IBM Db2 for Windows 12.1.0 - 12.1.3 could allow a local user with filesystem access to escalate their privileges due to the use of an unquoted search path element.

Tosibox Key Service 3.3.0 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability that allows local non-privileged users to potentially execute code with elevated system privileges. Attackers can exploit the service startup process by inserting malicious code in the system root path, enabling unauthorized code execution during application startup or system reboot.

Improper quotation in search paths in the Eaton UPS Companion software installer could lead to arbitrary code execution of an attacker with the access to the file system. This security issue has been fixed in the latest version of EUC which is available on the Eaton download center.

Unquoted Search Path or Element vulnerability in NetBT Consulting Services Inc. E-Fatura allows Leveraging/Manipulating Configuration File Search Paths, Redirect Access to Libraries. This issue affects e-Fatura: before 1.2.15.

Genexus Protection Server 9.7.2.10 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the protsrvservice Windows service configuration. Attackers can exploit the unquoted binary path to execute arbitrary code with elevated LocalSystem privileges by placing malicious executables in specific file system locations.

VeeVPN 1.6.1 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the VeePNService that allows remote attackers to execute code during startup or reboot with escalated privileges. Attackers can exploit this by providing a malicious service name, allowing them to inject commands and run as LocalSystem.

The RupsMon and USBMate services in UPSilon 2000 run with SYSTEM privileges and contain unquoted service paths. This allows a local attacker to perform path interception and escalate privileges if they have write permissions to the directories proceeding that of which the real service executables live in
