Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WPS Office version 10.8.0.6186

Description The issue is related to the insecure loading of dynamic link libraries (DLLs), such as VERSION.DLL, by the installer of WPS Office. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the user invoking the installer, potentially leading to privilege escalation.

Recommendations For WPS Office version 10.8.0.6186, consider restricting the execution of the installer until a secure version is available, and avoid using the installer on sensitive systems to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
