A certain ActiveX control in PDWizard.ocx 6.0.0.9782 and earlier in Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 exposes dangerous (1) StartProcess, (2) SyncShell, (3) SaveAs, (4) CABDefaultURL, (5) CABFileName, and (6) CABRunFile methods, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary programs and have other impacts, as demonstrated using absolute pathnames in arguments to StartProcess and SyncShell.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 ActiveX control issue. If the vulnerable PDWizard.ocx control is installed and reachable by untrusted content, it exposes methods that can run arbitrary programs. The source bundle does not provide a CVSS score, confirmed patch, or current exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems with Visual Studio 6.0 or the PDWizard.ocx ActiveX control installed and available to untrusted content. Modern standard builds are less likely affected unless the legacy control remains registered. Treat as a legacy technology risk with high impact but unclear current prevalence. Prioritize confirming whether the control exists in the estate, especially on developer workstations or old build systems. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for PDWizard.ocx 6.0.0.9782 or earlier.; Remove Visual Studio 6.0 components where no longer required.; Disable or unregister the vulnerable ActiveX control if business-safe..
