CVE-2025-4532

7.0 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This critical vulnerability in SunloginClient allows local attackers to exploit an uncontrolled search path (DLL hijacking) in the sunlogin_guard.exe process. Attackers could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the vulnerable process. Only users running the specific vulnerable version of SunloginClient are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Shanghai Bairui Information Technology SunloginClient
Versions: 15.8.3.19819
Operating Systems: Windows
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Only affects the specific version mentioned; other versions may also be vulnerable but unconfirmed.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Local privilege escalation leading to full system compromise if sunlogin_guard.exe runs with elevated privileges.

🟠

Likely Case

Local attacker gains code execution with user-level privileges, potentially leading to lateral movement or data theft.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if proper application whitelisting and DLL search path restrictions are enforced.

🌐 Internet-Facing: LOW - Local access required, no remote exploitation vector.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Local attackers on compromised systems can exploit this for privilege escalation.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ✅ No
Complexity: HIGH

Exploit requires local access and specific conditions; exploit code is publicly available but difficult to execute.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider uninstalling SunloginClient or upgrading to a newer version if available.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Restrict DLL Search Path

windows

Use Windows policies to restrict DLL search paths for vulnerable executables.

Set-ProcessMitigation -Name sunlogin_guard.exe -Enable ForceRelocateImages

Application Whitelisting

windows

Implement application control to prevent unauthorized DLL loading.

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Uninstall SunloginClient if not required
  • Implement strict user privilege management to limit local attack surface

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check SunloginClient version in Control Panel > Programs and Features or by examining sunlogin_guard.exe file properties.

Check Version:

wmic product where name="SunloginClient" get version

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify SunloginClient is uninstalled or updated to a version newer than 15.8.3.19819.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual DLL loading events from sunlogin_guard.exe in Windows Event Logs (Security/System)

Network Indicators:

  • No network indicators - local exploitation only

SIEM Query:

EventID=7 OR EventID=11 AND ProcessName="sunlogin_guard.exe" AND DLLName NOT CONTAINS expected_dlls
