A weakness has been identified in Hasleo Backup Suite up to 5.2. Impacted is an unknown function of the component HasleoImageMountService/HasleoBackupSuiteService. This manipulation causes unquoted search path. The attack is restricted to local execution. The attacks complexity is rated as high. The exploitability is considered difficult. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be exploited. Upgrading the affected component is advised.
The product searches for critical resources using an externally-supplied search path that can point to resources that are not under the product’s direct control.
This might allow attackers to execute their own programs, access unauthorized data files, or modify configuration in unexpected ways.
