The kerberos package before 1.0.0 for Node.js allows arbitrary code execution and privilege escalation via injection of malicious DLLs through use of the kerberos_sspi LoadLibrary() method, because of a DLL path search.
The product uses a fixed or controlled search path to find resources, but one or more locations in that path can be under the control of unintended actors.
