Descriptions

A vulnerability in the loading mechanism of specific dynamic link libraries in Cisco Webex Teams for Windows could allow an authenticated, local attacker to perform a DLL hijacking attack. To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would need to have valid credentials on the Windows system. The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of the resources loaded by the application at run time. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious DLL file and placing it in a specific location on the targeted system. The malicious DLL file would execute when the vulnerable application is launched. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target machine with the privileges of another user account.

Una vulnerabilidad en el mecanismo de carga de bibliotecas de enlaces dinámicos específicos en Cisco Webex Teams para Windows, podría permitir a un atacante local autenticado realizar un ataque de secuestro de DLL. Para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, el atacante debería tener credenciales válidas en el sistema Windows. La vulnerabilidad es debido a una comprobación insuficiente de los recursos cargados por parte de la aplicación durante el tiempo de ejecución. Un atacante podría explotar esta vulnerabilidad al crear un archivo DLL malicioso y colocándolo en una ubicación específica sobre el sistema destino. El archivo DLL malicioso se ejecutará cuando la aplicación vulnerable sea iniciada. Una explotación con éxito podría permitir al atacante ejecutar código arbitrario sobre la máquina de destino con los privilegios de otra cuenta de usuario.
