Technical details

A DLL hijacking vulnerability (CWE-427: Uncontrolled Search Path Element) exists in Acronis DeviceLock DLP for Windows before build 9.0.93212. The application fails to properly validate or restrict the search path used to load dynamic link libraries (DLLs). A local attacker with low privileges can exploit this by placing a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the application, which is then executed with the higher privileges of the DeviceLock service or process. Successful exploitation requires some user interaction and specific environmental conditions (AC:H), ultimately allowing the attacker to achieve full system compromise. The issue is resolved in build 9.0.93212.
