CVE-2008-5002
HighSummary
W podatności CVE-2008-5002 występuje niebezpieczna metoda w kontrolce ActiveX ChilkatCrypt2, która pozwala zdalnym atakującym na tworzenie i nadpisywanie dowolnych plików za pomocą metody WriteFile. Może to prowadzić do wykonania kodu poprzez tworzenie plików wykonywalnych w folderach uruchamiania lub dostęp do plików za pomocą adresów hcp://.
Risk Assessment
Organizacja jest narażona na ryzyko zdalnego wykonania kodu, co może prowadzić do przejęcia kontroli nad systemami oraz wycieku danych. Atakujący mogą wykorzystać tę podatność do wprowadzenia złośliwego oprogramowania.
Recommendation
Zaleca się aktualizację kontrolki ChilkatCrypt2 do najnowszej wersji oraz ograniczenie dostępu do metod ActiveX tylko dla zaufanych źródeł. Należy również monitorować systemy pod kątem nieautoryzowanych zmian w plikach.

Original NVD description (English source)
Insecure method vulnerability in the ChilkatCrypt2.ChilkatCrypt2.1 ActiveX control (ChilkatCrypt2.dll 4.3.2.1) in Chilkat Crypt ActiveX Component allows remote attackers to create and overwrite arbitrary files via the WriteFile method. NOTE: this could be leveraged for code execution by creating executable files in Startup folders or by accessing files using hcp:// URLs. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
