CVE-2026-41447 Aug 03, 20:58 HIGH PATCH This Week

DLL hijacking in Zucchetti FirmaCheck for Windows before 1.3.16 allows local low-privileged attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution at the privilege level of the FirmaCheck startup process. FirmaCheck.exe loads OpenSSL configuration from the unvalidated path C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SSL\ without verifying the integrity or ownership of the directory; an attacker who can write to this location may plant a crafted openssl.cnf referencing an attacker-controlled DLL, which is then loaded automatically when FirmaCheck runs at system startup. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; exploitation is reported by VulnCheck and is bounded by the local access requirement.
