See Roslyn-Detected C# Warning Classes for more information.

Summary

There could be a malicious DLL in the default DLL search directories. Or, depending on where your application is run from, there could be a malicious DLL in the application's directory. Use a DllImportSearchPath value that specifies an explicit search path instead. The DllImportSearchPath flags that this rule looks for can be configured in .editorconfig.

This check corresponds to Roslyn rule CA5393. For full rule details, see the Microsoft website: CA5393.
