Akamai NetSession 1.9.3.1 is vulnerable to DLL Hijacking: it tries to load CSUNSAPI.dll without supplying the complete path. The issue is aggravated because the mentioned DLL is missing from the installation, thus making it possible to hijack the DLL and subsequently inject code within the Akamai NetSession process space.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-10157 describes a weakness in Akamai NetSession 1.9.3.1 where the software may load a missing DLL by name rather than by a complete trusted path. If an attacker can place the expected DLL where the process will load it, they may run code inside the NetSession process. Exposure is most likely on Windows endpoints with Akamai NetSession 1.9.3.1 installed. The CVE record does not provide CPEs, supported version ranges, privileges, or default install paths, so inventory confirmation is required before scoping impact. Prioritize as a targeted endpoint hygiene issue, not an internet-facing emergency. Act where NetSession 1.9.3.1 exists on managed Windows systems, especially if the software is obsolete or no longer business-required. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Akamai NetSession 1.9.3.1.; Check Akamai guidance for fixed versions, retirement status, or removal instructions.; Remove unused or unsupported NetSession installations through standard software management..
