Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Hubstaff version 1.6.14
Description The software contains a DLL search order hijacking issue. An attacker can replace a missing system32wow64log.dll with a malicious library. By using tools like Metasploit to create a custom DLL and placing it in the system32 directory, an attacker can gain a reverse shell when the application starts.
Recommendations Update to a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the system32 directory to prevent unauthorized DLL placement.
