DLL Search Order Hijacking in INZONE Hub Installer

IdentifiersCVE-2025-64772CWE-427· Uncontrolled Search Path Element

CVE-2025-64772 is a high-severity vulnerability in the installer for INZONE Hub versions 1.0.10.3 through 1.0.17.0. The installer uses an insecure DLL search path, causing it to load Dynamic Link Libraries from uncontrolled or insufficiently trusted locations. An attacker who can place a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the installer may cause the installer to load that DLL instead of the intended legitimate library. Successful exploitation results in arbitrary code execution in the context of the user who launches the installer. The issue is consistent with DLL search order hijacking and is classified as CWE-427 (Uncontrolled Search Path Element).

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation allows arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user invoking the INZONE Hub installer. Depending on that user's rights, this can enable local compromise of the host, execution of attacker-controlled payloads, installation of additional malware, persistence, or further post-exploitation activity. The issue is not described as remotely exploitable on its own.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Until a fixed version is deployed, reduce exposure by running the installer only in trusted directories and preventing untrusted users or processes from writing files, including DLLs, into the install directory, working directory, or other locations that may be searched during installation. Avoid executing the installer from user-writable paths such as Downloads, Temp, network shares, or extracted archive folders with mixed-trust contents. Standard hardening measures for DLL hijacking prevention, including restricting write permissions and using only trusted installation sources, also help mitigate risk.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Update INZONE Hub to a fixed version that corrects the installer's DLL loading behavior. The vulnerable installer versions are 1.0.10.3 through 1.0.17.0, so remediation requires deploying a version outside that affected range as provided by the vendor. The installer should be modified to load DLLs only from explicit, trusted, and application-controlled paths and to avoid reliance on the default Windows DLL search order.

CVE-2025-64772 - INZONE Hub DLL Search Path Code Execution Vulnerability

A DLL search path vulnerability in the INZONE Hub installer (versions 1.0.10.3 to 1.0.17.0) allows arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the installer. This is due to insecure loading of Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs).
