Summary
Python is prone to an invalid search path vulnerability.
Insight
Insight
When the runtime attempts to pre-load 'python3.dll', an invalid search path occurs during Py_Initialize(). If Py_SetPath() has been called, the expected location is not set, and locations elsewhere on the user's system will be searched. This issue is not triggered when running 'python.exe'. It only applies when 'CPython' has been embedded in another application.
