Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions IBM Aspera Connect version 3.9.9

Description The issue is caused by improper loading of Dynamic Link Libraries by the import feature, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. An attacker could exploit this by persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted .DLL file.

Recommendations For IBM Aspera Connect version 3.9.9, update to a version that addresses the improper loading of Dynamic Link Libraries to prevent arbitrary code execution. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the import feature to minimize the risk of exploitation.
