An Untrusted Search Path vulnerability in the ServiceInstance.dll library versions 1.0.15.119 and lower, as used in Bitdefender Antivirus Free 2020 versions prior to 1.0.15.138, allows an attacker to load an arbitrary DLL file from the search path.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
