MS.Windows.Insecure.Library.Loading.Code.Execution

description-logoDescription

This indicates a possible attack against a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft Windows applications in the way the applications load external libraries.
When the vulnerable application loads a DLL file without specifying a fully qualified path name, Windows will try to locate the DLL by searching a defined set of directories which could lead to arbitrary code execution.
