CVE-2025-10549 | DLL Hijacking in EfficientLab Controlio Leads to Local Privilege Escalation

EfficientLab Controlio before v1.3.95 contains a DLL hijacking vulnerability caused by weak folder permissions in the installation directory. A local attacker can place a specially crafted DLL in this directory and achieve arbitrary code execution with highest privileges, because the affected service runs as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.

5.1 3.1 MEDIUM

Attack vector (AV:L)
They already need access on the box, or another person has to do something wrong; it’s not a remote drive-by.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:H)
They need powerful rights—admin, root, or similar—before this pays off.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:L)
Some sensitive info could get out, but not a total data dump.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:N)
Service keeps running; no real outage angle.
