CVE-2007-6189: n/a vulnerability

A certain ActiveX control in (1) OScan8.ocx and (2) Oscan81.ocx in BitDefender Online Anti-Virus Scanner 8.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long argument to the InitX method that begins with a "%%" sequence, which is misinterpreted as a Unicode string and decoded twice, leading to improper memory allocation and a heap-based buffer overflow.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy browser plug-in flaw in BitDefender Online Anti-Virus Scanner 8.0. A malicious web page could potentially make the vulnerable ActiveX control mishandle memory and run code on the user’s machine. The bundle does not show a CVSS score or confirmed active exploitation. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy Windows systems with Internet Explorer or ActiveX support where BitDefender Online Anti-Virus Scanner 8.0 was installed. The source bundle provides no CPE data or broader affected version list. Prioritize remediation if any legacy ActiveX-capable Windows systems remain. For modern environments without this scanner, urgency is low, but the asset check should be explicit because the impact is arbitrary code execution. Mitigation focus: Check BitDefender or archived vendor guidance for any official patch, replacement, or removal advice.; Remove or disable the named ActiveX controls where they are not business-required.; Restrict ActiveX and legacy Internet Explorer use on systems pending vendor-confirmed remediation..
