Description
Untrusted search path vulnerability in Nullsoft Winamp 5.581, and probably other versions, allows local users, and possibly remote attackers, to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse wnaspi32.dll that is located in the same folder as a .669, .aac, .aiff, .amf, .au, .avr, .b4s, .caf or .cda file.
Public exploits
Exploit or proof-of-concept code for this vulnerability is publicly available, which lowers the bar for attackers. Treat it as a reason to patch sooner.
Third-party code, not reviewed by us. Public PoCs are sometimes fake or contain malware. Read the code first and run it only in an isolated lab, against systems you are authorised to test.
