Untrusted search path vulnerability in Adobe Captivate 5.0.0.596, and possibly other versions, allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll that is located in the same folder as a .cptx file. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Adobe Captivate issue involving unsafe DLL loading when a Captivate project file is opened from a folder containing a malicious DLL. The reported impact is arbitrary code execution. The source record warns that provenance is unknown and based only on third-party information. Exposure is most likely on endpoints with legacy Adobe Captivate 5.0.0.596 handling .cptx files from email, downloads, removable media, or shared folders. The bundle does not confirm other versions or platforms. Treat this as a legacy software hygiene issue unless Captivate 5 is still used with externally sourced project files. Prioritize inventory and removal or upgrade decisions over emergency response because exploitation and patch details are not confirmed in the provided sources. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Adobe Captivate 5.0.0.596 and legacy 5.x installations.; Check Adobe or vendor guidance for supported updates, replacements, or removal options.; Restrict opening .cptx files from untrusted folders, archives, email attachments, or removable media..
