Low risk4th percentile — higher than 4% of all known CVEs
Summary
Punto Switcher through version 4.5.0.583 contains an unquoted search path element vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code. They exploit the application's call to WinExec without a fully qualified path for RunDll32.exe when invoking shell32.dll Control_RunDLL input.dll.
Risk Assessment
Attackers can place a malicious executable earlier in the search order, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the affected user. This could result in serious security breaches of the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Punto Switcher to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, monitoring and restricting access to the system is advised to minimize the risk of local attacks.
