Summary

SolarWinds Dameware through 2026.3 is affected by a DLL hijacking flaw caused by an uncontrolled search path element (CWE-427). Dameware loads a DLL from an untrusted location, so a local user can plant a malicious DLL that runs when the installer executes. An attacker needs local access and admin privileges, and the hijack occurs only during installations.
