Executive Summary

Dell Peripheral Manager versions 1.5.1 to 1.7.2 have an uncontrolled search path element vulnerability. This means that the software does not properly control the locations from which it loads executable files. An attacker could exploit this by preloading a malicious executable, which could then be run by the system.

Exploiting this vulnerability could lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing the attacker to run code of their choice on the affected system.

Impact Analysis
