Summary

Newell Brands DYMO ID from 1.5.1.71 before 1.6.0 resolves its plugin Modules directory relative to the process working directory. This exposes a resource to the wrong sphere (CWE-668), so a file location the attacker controls can be treated as trusted. A local attacker with low privileges can get code execution at the victim's privilege level if the victim clicks a job file the attacker placed alongside malicious modules or a DLL.

Description from the CNA

Newell Brands DYMO ID 1.5.1.71 resolves its plugin Modules directory relative to the process working directory. An attacker could store a job file alongside malicious modules / DLL that sets the process working directory to the job file's folder when a victim clicks on the file, resulting in code execution at the victim's privilege level. Fixed in 1.6.0.
