CVE-2026-7169
a vulnerability involving an unchecked search path element in Evope Collector, versions prior to 1.1.7.13, allows a local attacker without privileges to load a malicious DLL by placing a ‘wtsapi32.dll’ file in the ‘C:\ProgramData\Evope\’ directory. The ‘Evope.Service.exe’ component, which runs with ‘NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM’ privileges, loads this DLL without properly verifying its integrity or origin. Successful exploitation could allow code execution with SYSTEM privileges and result in local privilege escalation.
