CVE-2010-4599
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedUntrusted search path vulnerability in Ecava IntegraXor 3.6.4000.0 allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll file in the current working directory. NOTE: the provenance of this information is unknown; the details are obtained solely from third party information.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · low confidenceUntrusted search path vulnerability in Ecava IntegraXor 3.6.4000.0 allows local privilege escalation via DLL hijacking. The application loads dwmapi.dll from the current working directory without validating the path, enabling an attacker to place a malicious DLL that executes with the application's privileges.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify Ecava Integraxor versionCheck the installed version of Ecava Integraxor on the system. This can typically be done via the Windows Add/Remove Programs applet, by right-clicking the Integraxor executable and selecting Properties > Details, or by checking the version information embedded in the main application binary.Affected if The installed version is exactly 3.6.4000.0
-
Locate the Integraxor executableFind the path to the Integraxor executable (typically named IntegraXor.exe or similar) on the system.Affected if The executable exists and is version 3.6.4000.0
-
Check for dwmapi.dll in application directoryExamine the directory containing the Integraxor application for any dwmapi.dll file. Also check if dwmapi.dll exists in the current working directory from which the application is launched.Affected if A dwmapi.dll file is present in the application directory or in a directory from which the application is commonly launched
-
Identify launch contextDetermine the typical working directory from which Integraxor is launched. Check if this is a shared/network directory, user downloads folder, or other location where untrusted users could place files.Affected if The application is routinely launched from or runs in a directory writable by untrusted users (such as shared folders, downloads, or temp directories)
A system is affected if Ecava Integraxor version 3.6.4000.0 is installed and the application runs from or can have its working directory controlled by untrusted users, allowing placement of a malicious dwmapi.dll.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataEnsure the application uses safe DLL loading practices (full path specification, explicit DLL directories, or SafeLoadLibrary) and avoid running the application from untrusted directories. Consider upgrading to a patched version if available.
