Attackers can place a malicious DLL in the user-writable staging directory under %LOCALAPPDATA%, mark it read-only to bypass cleanup, and have the elevated installer copy it into the protected installation directory, causing the DLL to execute in the context of any higher-privileged user who subsequently launches the application.","published":"2026-09-18T16:17:09.940","modified":"2026-09-18T16:17:09.940","cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":null,"affectedPackages":[],"fix":null,"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://gist.github.com/anthok/765b3ca0223fabee38f51d8f832e2175"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.sublimetext.com/"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://www.vulncheck.com/advisories/sublime-text-4192-3207-local-privilege-escalation-via-update-staging-mechanism"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","NVD","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-09-18T16:17:09.940"}}
