Panda ActiveScan 5.53.00, and other versions before 5.54.01, allows remote attackers to (1) reboot the system using the Reinicializar method in the ActiveScan.1 ActiveX control, or (2) determine arbitrary file existence and size via the ObtenerTamano method in the PAVPZ.SOS.1 ActiveX control.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Panda ActiveScan browser component issue. If a vulnerable ActiveX control is installed and a user reaches hostile content, an attacker could trigger a system reboot or learn whether chosen files exist and their sizes. Business impact is mainly endpoint disruption and limited local information disclosure, not documented server compromise. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows endpoints with Panda ActiveScan ActiveX controls installed and usable through Internet Explorer or compatible ActiveX execution paths. Prioritize cleanup on legacy endpoints, especially shared workstations or systems browsing untrusted sites. This is not a modern enterprise-wide emergency from the provided evidence, but stale ActiveX components are avoidable risk. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Panda ActiveScan to 5.54.01 or later where still applicable.; Remove legacy Panda ActiveScan ActiveX controls if no longer needed.; Disable or tightly restrict ActiveX execution in legacy browsers..
