Untrusted search path vulnerability in Opera before 10.62 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .htm, .mht, .mhtml, .xht, .xhtm, or .xhtl file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Opera for Windows issue where Opera could load a malicious dwmapi.dll from the current folder. If a vulnerable Opera version opened certain web archive or HTML-related files from an attacker-controlled directory, a local attacker could potentially gain privileges. Exposure is mainly legacy Windows systems running Opera before 10.62. The supplied affected-product metadata is incomplete, so asset validation should focus on installed Opera versions and historical endpoints rather than broad assumptions. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue. It is not KEV-listed in the supplied data, but vulnerable old browsers create avoidable privilege-escalation risk and should be removed or upgraded. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Opera to version 10.62 or later where applicable.; Remove unsupported legacy Opera installations from managed endpoints.; Restrict users from opening untrusted files from attacker-controlled directories..
