Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Acuant AcuFill SDK versions prior to 10.22.02.03

Description An issue was discovered in the Acuant AcuFill SDK, where the Gemalto Document Reader child installation process is vulnerable to DLL hijacking. This occurs because the process attempts to execute multiple non-existent DLLs with elevated privileges from a non-existent standard-user writable location.

Recommendations For versions prior to 10.22.02.03, update to version 10.22.02.03 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the execution of non-existent DLLs from standard-user writable locations to minimize the risk of exploitation.
