CVE-2025-9267 PoC — Seagate Toolkit 安全漏洞

介绍

# CVE-2025-9267

## Description
In **Seagate Toolkit** on Windows there is an insecure DLL-loading vulnerability in the **Toolkit Installer** (prior to version **2.35.0.6**) where the installer attempts to load DLLs from the current working directory without validating their origin or integrity. An attacker who can place a malicious DLL in the same directory as the installer executable (for example by controlling the working/install directory) can cause the installer to load and execute that DLL with the privileges of the user running the installer, leading to arbitrary code execution. The issue stems from insecure DLL-loading practices such as relying on relative paths or failing to specify fully qualified paths when invoking system libraries.
