Loading vulnerability…
Helakuru Desktop Application v1.1 is vulnerable to a DLL hijacking issue due to improper validation of the wow64log.dll file. A local attacker can exploit this by placing a malicious wow64log.dll in a location where the application will load it, resulting in arbitrary code execution under the context of the application.

This repository demonstrates a DLL hijacking vulnerability in Helakuru Desktop version 1.1v for Windows. The vulnerability arises because the application attempts to load 'wow64log.dll', which is not present by default, allowing an attacker to place a malicious DLL with that name in a location where the application will load it. The provided proof-of-concept (wow64log.cpp) is a C++ DLL that, when loaded, launches the Windows Calculator (calc.exe) to demonstrate code execution. The repository contains a README.md with detailed reproduction steps, a single C++ code file for the malicious DLL, and a license file. The exploit is local, requiring the attacker to place the DLL on the victim's system. No network endpoints are involved. The exploit demonstrates arbitrary code execution in the context of the vulnerable application.
