Untrusted search path vulnerability in the Data Access Objects (DAO) library (dao360.dll) in Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3, Windows Server 2003 R2 Enterprise Edition SP3, Windows Vista Business SP1, and Windows 7 Professional allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse msjet49.dll that is located in the same folder as a file that is processed by dao360.dll. 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 a Windows DAO library DLL search-path issue. If a vulnerable system processes a file from a folder containing a malicious companion DLL, code could run in the user’s context. The record is old, third-party sourced, and explicitly says provenance is unknown, so urgency depends on legacy exposure. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems using DAO-based applications that process files from user-writable, shared, removable, or downloaded directories. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete and lists no CPEs. Treat this as a legacy-technology risk, not a confirmed emergency. Prioritize finding exposed unsupported Windows and DAO-dependent workflows, then reduce file-handling paths where attackers can place companion DLLs. Mitigation focus: Check Microsoft or application vendor guidance before assuming a patch exists.; Inventory and reduce use of the listed unsupported Windows versions.; Avoid processing untrusted files from shared, removable, or downloaded folders..
