CVE-2024-14012

2th percentile - higher than 2% of all known CVEs

Potential privilege escalation issue in Revenera InstallShield version 2023 R1 running a renamed Setup.exe on Windows. When a local administrator executes a renamed Setup.exe, the MPR.dll may get loaded from an insecure location and can result in a privilege escalation. The issue has been fixed in versions 2023 R2 and later.

A local administrator can be tricked into loading a malicious DLL, leading to code execution with elevated privileges and system compromise.

Update Revenera InstallShield to version 2023 R2 or later and avoid running renamed Setup.exe files from untrusted locations.
