Last modified
CVE-2026-3780 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. The application's installer runs with elevated privileges but resolves system executables and DLLs using untrusted search paths that can include user-writable directories, allowing a local attacker to place malicious binaries with the same names and have them loaded or executed instead of the legitimate system files, resulting in local privilege escalation.. EPSS estimates a 0.12% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
