CVE-2025-9267

In Seagate Toolkit on Windows a vulnerability exists in the Toolkit Installer prior to versions 2.35.0.6 where it attempts to load DLLs from the current working directory without validating their origin or integrity. This behavior can be exploited by placing a malicious DLL in the same directory as the installer executable, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the installer. The issue stems from the use of insecure DLL loading practices, such as relying on relative paths or failing to specify fully qualified paths when invoking system libraries.

Summary		(es) En Seagate Toolkit en Windows existe una vulnerabilidad en el instalador de Toolkit anterior a las versiones 2.35.0.6, donde intenta cargar DLLs desde el directorio de trabajo actual sin validar su origen o integridad. Este comportamiento puede ser explotado colocando una DLL maliciosa en el mismo directorio que el ejecutable del instalador, lo que lleva a la ejecución de código arbitrario con los privilegios del usuario que ejecuta el instalador. El problema se deriva del uso de prácticas inseguras de carga de DLL, como depender de rutas relativas o no especificar rutas completamente calificadas al invocar bibliotecas del sistema.
