Bleachbit · Bleachbit · CVE-2025-32780
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
BleachBit versions prior to 4.9.0
BleachBit version 4.6.2 and earlier
**Description**
BleachBit cleans files to free disk space and to maintain privacy. It is vulnerable to a DLL Hijacking issue. By placing a malicious DLL with the name `uuid.dll` in the folder "C:Users<username>AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApps", an attacker can execute arbitrary code every time BleachBit is run.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 4.9.0, update to version 4.9.0 or later to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `C:Users<username>AppDataLocalMicrosoftWindowsApps` folder to minimize the risk of exploitation.
Avoid placing any untrusted DLL files in the aforementioned folder until the issue is resolved.
