Loading vulnerability…
CVE-2026-42830 is an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the Azure Monitor Agent Metrics Extension caused by an untrusted search path condition. According to the provided content, the issue is tied to OpenSSL configuration auto-loading behavior used by extension modules such as MetricsExtension. If a malicious DLL is placed in a location referenced by that configuration, the DLL may be implicitly loaded, resulting in arbitrary code execution in a higher-privileged context. Microsoft classifies the flaw as CWE-426 and rates it Important with CVSS 3.1 6.5 (AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:N).
