HTTP: Computer Associates WebScan Unsafe ActiveX Control
This signature detects attempts to use unsafe ActiveX controls in Computer Associates Webscan. 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 upload and download files from the victim's computer, potentially resulting in arbitrary program execution.
Extended Description
Computer Associates WebScan ActiveX control is prone to multiple remote code-execution vulnerabilities. Attackers may exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to view a malicious webpage. Successfully exploiting these issues will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application that uses the ActiveX control (typically Internet Explorer).
