What is CVE-2017-2190?

A security flaw exists in the RW-4040 tool that allows unauthorized privileges to be escalated through the exploitation of an untrusted search path. This vulnerability occurs when the tool fails to validate the directories from which it loads dynamic link libraries (DLLs). An attacker can place a Trojan horse DLL in a directory that is searched by the RW-4040 tool, leading to execution of malicious code in the context of the user running the tool. This not only compromises the integrity of the software but also exposes sensitive user data and system security.
