dll hijacking vulnerabilities
DLL hijacking vulnerabilities refer to security weaknesses in software applications that can be exploited by malicious actors. It occurs when an attacker substitutes a legitimate dynamic-link library (DLL) file with a malicious one, tricking the application into using the compromised DLL. This can lead to unauthorized access, control, or information disclosure, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code and potentially compromise the entire system.
