Description

DLL hijacking vulnerability in Evope Collector 1.1.6.9.0 and related components load the wtsapi32.dll library from an uncontrolled search path (C:\ProgramData\Evope). This allows local unprivileged attackers to execute arbitrary code or escalate privileges to SYSTEM by placing a crafted DLL in that location. The vulnerable component is Evope.Service.exe, which runs with SYSTEM privileges and automatically loads the DLL on startup or reboot.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a DLL hijacking issue in Evope Collector 1.1.6.9.0 and related components. The software loads the wtsapi32.dll library from an uncontrolled search path (C:\ProgramData\Evope). An attacker with local unprivileged access can place a malicious DLL in that location, which the system then loads with SYSTEM privileges when Evope.Service.exe starts or reboots. This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code or escalate their privileges to SYSTEM level.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow a local attacker without privileges to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM-level privileges. This means the attacker can gain full control over the affected system, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, system manipulation, or disruption of services.
