CVE-2021-33436

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions NoMachine for Windows versions prior to 6.15.1 and 7.5.2

Description The issue is related to the incorrect handling of the DLL search path in the NoMachine remote desktop access system, allowing for local privilege escalation due to the lack of safe DLL loading. This enables local non-privileged users to perform DLL Hijacking via any writable directory listed under the system path, ultimately executing code as NT AUTHORITYSYSTEM.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.15.1, update to version 6.15.1 or later to resolve the issue. For versions prior to 7.5.2, update to version 7.5.2 or later to resolve the issue.
