Impact
High
Additional Details
This issue occurs only during the installation of DDPM versions earlier than 2.1.2.12, specifically when user launches the application directly from the installer. This issue does not affect the silent installation. If you already have DDPM version prior to 2.1.2.12 installed, you do not need to reinstall, as the vulnerability exists in the installer process only—not the installed application.
