HTTP: KingView KChartXY.ocx Unsafe ActiveX Control

This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in the KingView. An attacker can create a malicious Web site containing Web pages with dangerous ActiveX controls, which if accessed by a victim, allows the attacker to gain control of the client application.

Extended Description

The KCHARTXYLib.KChartXY ActiveX control in KChartXY.ocx before 65.30.30000.10002 in WellinTech KingView before 6.53 does not properly restrict SaveToFile method calls, which allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files, and subsequently execute arbitrary programs, via the single pathname argument, as demonstrated by a directory traversal attack.
