Untrusted search path vulnerability in Corel Painter 2015 allows local users to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse wacommt.dll file that is located in the same folder as the file being processed.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Corel Painter 2015 can load a malicious DLL from the same folder as a file it processes. A local attacker who can place that DLL next to a file the user opens could get code running under that user’s account. The sources do not provide a CVSS score or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on workstations that still have Corel Painter 2015 installed and open files from user-writable, shared, downloaded, removable, or otherwise untrusted folders. Environments without this legacy application are not indicated as exposed by the supplied bundle. Treat this as a legacy endpoint hardening issue. It is not KEV-listed and lacks severity scoring, but it can lead to code execution if affected workstations process files from unsafe locations. Prioritize where creative teams still use Corel Painter 2015. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Corel Painter 2015 and prioritize removal or upgrade decisions.; Check Corel guidance for fixed versions, patches, or supported workarounds.; Restrict users from opening Painter files from untrusted or shared writable locations..
