CVE-2022-3859
An uncontrolled search path vulnerability exists in Trellix Agent (TA) for Windows in versions prior to 5.7.8.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.21%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description

This allows an attacker with admin access, which is required to place the DLL in the restricted Windows System folder, to elevate their privileges to System by placing a malicious DLL there.
