Technical details
A DLL hijacking vulnerability exists in Trimble SketchUp Desktop 2025 due to an uncontrolled search path (CWE-427) in the sketchup_webhelper.exe process. The application attempts to load libcef.dll without specifying a fully qualified path, allowing an attacker with local access to place a malicious version of the DLL in a higher-priority directory. When the application or the web helper process starts, it loads the attacker's DLL, enabling arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the running user. This can be used to establish persistence or deploy remote access tools like Cobalt Strike.
