Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Synology Assistant versions prior to 6.1-15163

Description The issue allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code and conduct DLL hijacking attacks via a Trojan horse file in the current working directory, specifically targeting shfolder.dll, ntmarta.dll, secur32.dll, or dwmapi.dll files.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.1-15163, update to version 6.1-15163 or later to resolve the issue.
