CVE-2017-2268: Untrusted search path vulnerability in Encrypted files in self-decryption format created by FileCapsule Del...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects self-decrypting encrypted files created by FileCapsule Deluxe Portable 1.0.5.1 and earlier. If a user runs one of these files in unsafe conditions, a malicious DLL could be loaded and used to gain privileges. Exposure is likely limited to organizations that used this specific tool or retained files it generated. Most organizations are exposed only if they use FileCapsule Deluxe Portable 1.0.5.1 or earlier, or distribute archived self-decrypting files created by it. General file servers are not automatically exposed unless users execute affected self-decrypting files. Treat this as a targeted legacy-software risk, not a broad emergency. Prioritize if the organization historically used FileCapsule Deluxe Portable or still runs self-decrypting encrypted files from shared or untrusted locations. Mitigation focus: Identify use of FileCapsule Deluxe Portable 1.0.5.1 or earlier.; Check vendor and JVN guidance for supported updates or replacement advice.; Avoid executing affected self-decrypting files from untrusted or writable locations..
