Summary

This vulnerability occurs when installers for ARM and Intel products utilize an unconstrained search path for file loading and execution. This allows an attacker to manipulate the path to substitute malicious files in place of legitimate ones, potentially leading to unauthorized execution of arbitrary code. It is crucial for users and developers to ensure that their systems validate file paths to prevent exploitation.
