CVE-2014-0773
HighSummary
The BWOCXRUN.BwocxrunCtrl.1 control contains a 'CreateProcess' method that is supposed to validate user-supplied commands. However, this validation can be bypassed, allowing for the execution of arbitrary commands, including remote files.
Risk Assessment
The ability to execute arbitrary commands poses a serious security risk to the system, enabling attackers to run malicious code.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the BWOCXRUN.BwocxrunCtrl.1 control and implement additional security measures to prevent unauthorized command execution.

Original NVD description (English source)
The BWOCXRUN.BwocxrunCtrl.1 control contains a method named “CreateProcess.” This method contains validation to ensure an attacker cannot run arbitrary command lines. After validation, the values supplied in the HTML are passed to the Windows CreateProcessA API. The validation can be bypassed allowing for running arbitrary command lines. The command line can specify running remote files (example: UNC command line). A function exists at offset 100019B0 of bwocxrun.ocx. Inside this function, there are 3 calls to strstr to check the contents of the user specified command line. If “\setup.exe,” “\bwvbprt.exe,” or “\bwvbprtl.exe” are contained in the command line (strstr returns nonzero value), the command line passes validation and is then passed to CreateProcessA.
