CVE-2019-25268 Details
Description
NREL BEopt 2.8.0.0 contains a DLL hijacking vulnerability that allows attackers to load arbitrary libraries by tricking users into opening application files from remote shares. Attackers can exploit insecure library loading of sdl2.dll and libegl.dll by placing malicious libraries on WebDAV or SMB shares to execute unauthorized code.
A DLL hijacking vulnerability has been identified in NREL BEopt version 2.8.0.0, as well as in versions 2.7.0.0 and 2.6.0.1. This vulnerability arises from the application loading dynamic-linked libraries (DLLs) in an insecure manner, specifically 'sdl2.dll' and 'libegl.dll'. Attackers can exploit this vulnerability by persuading users to open .BEopt files located on remote WebDAV or SMB shares, which can lead to the execution of arbitrary code on the user's system.
