What is CVE-2017-12252?

A vulnerability in the Cisco FindIT Network Discovery Utility allows an authenticated, local attacker to execute a DLL preloading attack. This can lead to a compromised system where the application inadvertently loads a malicious DLL file, instead of the expected file. If successfully exploited, the attacker could endanger the device’s confidentiality, integrity, and availability. This situation arises when an affected DLL is strategically placed within the host system's search path, creating potential risks for sensitive data and overall device functionality.
