CVE-2026-7169

HighCVSS 7.5
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A vulnerability in Evope Collector prior to version 1.1.7.13 allows a local attacker without privileges to load a malicious DLL by placing a 'wtsapi32.dll' file in the 'C:\ProgramData\Evope\' directory. The 'Evope.Service.exe' component, running with SYSTEM privileges, loads this DLL without verifying its integrity or origin, potentially leading to code execution with SYSTEM privileges and local privilege escalation.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can gain full control over the system, leading to data compromise, malware installation, or permanent integrity violation.

Recommendation

Update Evope Collector to version 1.1.7.13 or later. Additionally, restrict permissions on the 'C:\ProgramData\Evope\' directory and monitor for unusual DLL files in that directory.

a vulnerability involving an unchecked search path element in Evope Collector, versions prior to 1.1.7.13, allows a local attacker without privileges to load a malicious DLL by placing a ‘wtsapi32.dll’ file in the ‘C:\ProgramData\Evope\’ directory. The ‘Evope.Service.exe’ component, which runs with ‘NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM’ privileges, loads this DLL without properly verifying its integrity or origin. Successful exploitation could allow code execution with SYSTEM privileges and result in local privilege escalation.
