What is CVE-2025-6241?
CVE-2025-6241 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Lakeside Software SysTrack, published on 27 Jul 2025. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Official description
LsiAgent.exe, a component of SysTrack from Lakeside Software, attempts to load several DLL files which are not present in the default installation. If a user-writable directory is present in the SYSTEM PATH environment variable, the user can write a malicious DLL to that directory with arbitrary code. This malicious DLL is executed in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM upon service start or restart, due to the Windows default dynamic-link library search order, resulting in local elevation of privileges.
