HIGH 7.1EPSS 0.63%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.63%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Many of the services used by the affected product do not specify full paths for the DLLs they are loading. An attacker can exploit the uncontrolled search path by implanting their own DLL near the affected product’s binaries, thus hijacking the loaded DLL.
