This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in Ubisoft Uplay. 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 victim's client browser.
The web browser plugin for Ubisoft Uplay PC before 2.0.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs via the -orbit_exe_path command line argument.
