CVE-2026-11958

Technical Description

Local privilege escalation by loading DLLs from a shared temporary directory in ANSSI’s DFIR-ORC, versions 10.2.7 and prior. An attacker with prior access to the system, can place a malicious DLL in C:\Windows\Temp and wait for the application to be executed. Because DFIR-ORC is extracted and executed from that location with administrative privileges, the malicious library can be loaded automatically, allowing the attacker to gain administrator privileges on the affected machine.

Remediation

Check the references section for vendor advisories, patches, and mitigation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, review the CVSS vector to understand the attack surface and apply compensating controls such as network segmentation or access restrictions.
