binary planting (also known as dll preloading or dll sideloading)

Binary planting, also referred to as dll preloading or dll sideloading, is a technique where an attacker manipulates the search order used by an application to load a dynamic-link library (DLL). By exploiting this vulnerability, the attacker can trick the application into executing malicious code from a malicious DLL instead of the intended one. This can lead to unauthorized access, data compromise, or system compromise.
