Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Microsoft Foundation Class (MFC) Library in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 SP1; Visual Studio 2005 SP1, 2008 SP1, and 2010; Visual C++ 2005 SP1, 2008 SP1, and 2010; and Exchange Server 2010 Service Pack 3, 2013, and 2013 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll file in the current working directory during execution of an MFC application such as AtlTraceTool8.exe (aka ATL MFC Trace Tool), as demonstrated by a directory that contains a TRC, cur, rs, rct, or res file, aka "MFC Insecure Library Loading Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Windows DLL search-path issue in Microsoft MFC components. If an affected MFC application is launched from a directory containing a malicious DLL, a local user may gain higher privileges. The bundle does not show active exploitation or a current CVSS score. Exposure is most likely on older Windows systems with the affected Microsoft developer tools, runtimes, or listed Exchange versions installed. Internet-facing exposure is not indicated by the source bundle; the described attack requires local influence over files and application launch context. Prioritize remediation where legacy Microsoft developer components or affected Exchange versions remain on shared or privileged systems. The business risk is privilege escalation after local access, not direct remote compromise based on the supplied evidence. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and updates referenced by MS11-025 or current MSRC guidance.; Inventory affected Visual Studio, Visual C++, MFC, and listed Exchange installations.; Remove unsupported legacy developer tools from production servers where possible..
