Okta Verify for Windows is vulnerable to privilege escalation through DLL hijacking. The vulnerability is fixed in Okta Verify for Windows version 5.0.2. To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade to 5.0.2 or greater.
Solution:
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted 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.
