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 · unedited
A vulnerability was found in Mechrevo Control Console 1.0.2.70. It has been rated as critical. Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality in the library C:\Program Files\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\UniwillService\MyControlCenter\csCAPI.dll of the component GCUService. The manipulation leads to uncontrolled search path. An attack has to be approached locally. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.

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 · moderate confidence

A DLL hijacking vulnerability exists in Mechrevo Control Console 1.0.2.70 where the csCAPI.dll library in the GCUService component loads DLLs from an uncontrolled search path. A local attacker can place a malicious DLL in a location where the application will load it, achieving code execution with the application's privileges.

MitigationUntil a vendor patch is available, ensure the application directory (C:\Program Files\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\) and subdirectories are not writable by low-privilege users. Monitor for unauthorized DLL placement in these paths.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify if Mechrevo Control Console is installed
    Check for the presence of the application in the system: Look for the directory C:\Program Files\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\. You can also check the Windows Registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for an entry named 'Mechrevo Control Console' or similar.
    Affected if The application directory does not exist or the product is not found in the registry.
  2. Determine the installed version
    Locate the main executable (commonly ControlCenter.exe or similar) in the application directory. Right-click the executable, select Properties, and check the 'File version' or 'Product version' field in the Details tab. Alternatively, query the registry key that contains the version information from the uninstall entry found in the previous step.
    Affected if The installed version matches 1.0.2.70 exactly.
  3. Locate the vulnerable GCUService component and csCAPI.dll
    Navigate to the application installation directory and look for a subdirectory named GCUService. Within that directory, verify the presence of csCAPI.dll. The typical path is C:\Program Files\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\GCUService\csCAPI.dll.
    Affected if The GCUService folder and csCAPI.dll file exist in the expected location.
  4. Check write permissions on the application directory
    Right-click the application directory (C:\Program Files\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\) and select Properties. Go to the Security tab, click Advanced. Review the permissions for Users or low-privilege groups. Check if any principal has 'Write' or 'Create Files' permissions, especially for Users or Everyone.
    Affected if Low-privilege users (such as standard Users group or authenticated users) have Write, Create Files, or Create Folders permissions on the application directory or its subdirectories.
  5. Inspect for unauthorized DLLs in application paths
    In the GCUService folder and the main application directory, list all DLL files. Look for any unexpected or suspicious DLL files that do not belong to the legitimate application. Common malicious DLL names may mimic system DLLs or appear out of place. Use PowerShell: Get-ChildItem -Path 'C:\Program Files\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\' -Filter *.dll | Select-Object Name, LastWriteTime
    Affected if Unexpected DLL files are present in the application directory or GCUService subdirectory.

A user is affected if Mechrevo Control Console version 1.0.2.70 is installed with the GCUService component containing csCAPI.dll, and low-privilege users have write access to the application directory, allowing potential DLL hijacking.

Mitigation

Until a vendor patch is available, ensure the application directory (C:\Program Files\OEM\MECHREVO Control Center\) and subdirectories are not writable by low-privilege users. Monitor for unauthorized DLL placement in these paths.
