Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2007-6339 is a legacy browser plug-in risk in Akamai Download Manager. A vulnerable ActiveX control could be abused by a remote attacker to make a Windows user’s system download and run arbitrary code. The record does not show current active exploitation. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows systems using Internet Explorer or ActiveX with Akamai Download Manager installed before version 2.2.3.5. Modern environments without this control are unlikely to be exposed. Treat this as a targeted legacy exposure cleanup item. It is high impact if present, but urgency depends on whether vulnerable ActiveX components still exist in the environment. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Akamai Download Manager and DownloadManagerV2.ocx.; Remove the ActiveX control where it is no longer required.; Update affected installations to version 2.2.3.5 or later, if available..
