What is CVE-2025-9267?
CVE-2025-9267 is a high-severity vulnerability in Seagate Toolkit, published on 26 Sep 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
In Seagate Toolkit on Windows a vulnerability exists in the Toolkit Installer prior to versions 2.35.0.6 where it attempts to load DLLs from the current working directory without validating their origin or integrity. This behavior can be exploited by placing a malicious DLL in the same directory as the installer executable, leading to arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the installer. The issue stems from the use of insecure DLL loading practices, such as relying on relative paths or failing to specify fully qualified paths when invoking system libraries.
