Untrusted search path vulnerability in IDM Computer Solutions UltraEdit 16.20.0.1009, 16.10.0.1036, and probably 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 bin, cpp, css, c, dat, hpp, html, h, ini, java, log, mak, php, prj, txt, or xml file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

UltraEdit can load code from the same folder as certain opened files. If a user opens a file from an untrusted folder containing a malicious companion DLL, code could run with that user’s privileges. This mainly matters where old UltraEdit versions remain installed or used with shared downloads, archives, or network folders. Exposure is most likely on Windows endpoints running legacy UltraEdit versions, especially where users open code, text, project, or web files from downloads, shared drives, email attachments, or extracted archives. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue with code execution potential. Prioritize if UltraEdit remains installed on managed systems, especially for developers or administrators handling external files. Mitigation focus: Inventory UltraEdit installations and versions across endpoints.; Check IDM Computer Solutions guidance for fixed or supported versions.; Upgrade, replace, or remove affected legacy UltraEdit builds..
