GHSA-2795-PJW4-5495

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-01-30 18:32 – Updated: 2025-01-30 18:32

Details

A misconfiguration in lmadmin.exe of FlexNet Publisher versions prior to 2024 R1 (11.19.6.0) allows the OpenSSL configuration file to load from a non-existent directory. An unauthorized, locally authenticated user with low privileges can potentially create the directory and load a specially crafted openssl.conf file leading to the execution of a malicious DLL (Dynamic-Link Library) with elevated privileges.

Severity

8.5 (High)
