Untrusted search path vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Contacts allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse wab32res.dll that is located in the same folder as a .contact, .group, .p7c, .vcf, or .wab file. NOTE: the codebase for this product may overlap the codebase for the product referenced in CVE-2010-3147.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This older Windows Contacts issue can let an attacker’s file load a malicious DLL from the same folder as a contact-related file. The business risk is mainly legacy endpoint exposure and unsafe handling of downloaded or shared contact files. The bundle does not identify affected Windows versions, CVSS scoring, or a vendor fix. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems using Windows Contacts to open contact, group, certificate, vCard, or Windows Address Book files from untrusted folders or shares. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue unless Windows Contacts is still used in business workflows. Prioritize systems handling external contact files, shared folders, or email attachments, and confirm vendor remediation status before broader action. Mitigation focus: Check Microsoft or vendor guidance for affected versions and updates.; Restrict opening contact-related files from untrusted folders, archives, or shares.; Block or quarantine unexpected DLLs packaged with contact files..
