CVE-2026-9169
DLL Search Order Hijacking in LUCID Vision Labs Arena SDK 1.0.80.49 on Windows allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application by placing a malicious DLL in a user-controlled directory listed in the PATH environment variable, which the SDK traverses when a required dependency is not found locally.
What this means for your business
