A vulnerability has been identified in ModelSim (All versions < V2024.3), Questa (All versions < V2024.3). vish2.exe in affected applications allows a specific DLL file to be loaded from the current working directory. This could allow an authenticated local attacker to inject arbitrary code and escalate privileges in installations where administrators or processes with elevated privileges launch vish2.exe from a user-writable directory.
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.
