Title: Data Dynamics ActiveBar Actbar3.OCX ActiveX Control Multiple Insecure Methods Vulnerabilities

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Data Dynamics ActiveBar is a toolbar control for use on the Microsoft Windows operating system.

The ActiveX control is prone to a vulnerability that lets attackers overwrite arbitrary files on the victim's computer in the context of the vulnerable application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). This issue occurs because the application fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'Save', 'SaveLayoutChanges', and 'SaveMenuUsageData' methods in the 'actbar3.ocx' library.

The vulnerability resides in the ActiveX control with the following CLSID:
{clsid:5407153D-022F-4CD2-8BFF-465569BC5DB8}.

An attacker can exploit this issue to overwrite arbitrary files on the victim's computer in the context of the vulnerable application using the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer). Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.

These issues affect Data Dynamics ActiveBar 3.1; other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • Data Dynamics ActiveBar ActiveX Control 3.1
  • Data Dynamics ActiveBar ActiveX Control 3.2
