A local privilege escalation is caused by Overwolf loading and executing certain dynamic link library files from a user-writeable folder in SYSTEM context on launch. This allows an attacker with unprivileged access to the system to run arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by placing a malicious .dll file in the respective location.

Overwolf Client 0.169.0.22 allows XSS, with resultant Remote Code Execution, via an overwolfstore:// URL.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in The Installer of Overwolf 2.168.0.n and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the user invoking the installer via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.

In the client in Overwolf 0.149.2.30, a channel can be accessed or influenced by an actor that is not an endpoint.

Overwolf before 0.149.2.30 mishandles Symbolic Links during updates, causing elevation of privileges.
