Summary
The OpenSSL library bundled with the Illumio VEN for Windows contains an uncontrolled search path flaw that lets a local attacker with low-level login access run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. The attacker must already be logged in on the machine, and no user action is needed to trigger it.
