Synopsis

A program installed on the remote Windows host is affected by an insecure DLL loading vulnerability.

Description

The installed version of 7-Technologies AQUIS on the remote Windows host is 1.5 dated October 13, 2011 or earlier. As such, it insecurely looks in its current working directory when resolving DLL dependencies.
