Untrusted search path vulnerability in GFI Backup 3.1 Build 20100730 2009 Home Edition allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse ArmAccess.dll file in the current working directory, as demonstrated by a directory that contains a .gbc or .gbt file. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a local privilege-escalation issue in GFI Backup 3.1 Build 20100730 2009 Home Edition. If a local user can place a malicious ArmAccess.dll in the working directory used when opening certain backup files, the application may load it with higher privileges. Exposure is likely limited to legacy endpoints still running the named GFI Backup Home Edition build, especially where users open .gbc or .gbt files from shared, downloaded, or user-writable directories. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue. It is not currently evidenced as internet-scale exploitation, but vulnerable backup software on business workstations can create a privilege-escalation path for an already-local attacker. Mitigation focus: Inventory and remove unsupported GFI Backup Home Edition installations where possible.; Check vendor or trusted advisory guidance for any available update or replacement.; Avoid opening .gbc or .gbt files from untrusted or writable directories..
