Security readout for executives and security teams
This old vulnerability affects the Black Ice Software Annotation Plugin 10.95 ActiveX control. A specially crafted long value passed to one control method can crash memory handling and may allow arbitrary code execution. Business risk is concentrated on legacy Windows environments that still allow this control to run. Exposure is most likely on legacy endpoints or applications that installed Black Ice Software Annotation Plugin 10.95 and permit BiAnno.ocx ActiveX execution. Modern environments without this control, or with ActiveX blocked, are less likely to be exposed. Prioritize this where legacy document or annotation workflows still rely on the Black Ice ActiveX plugin. The issue is old, but arbitrary code execution plus public exploit references make unmanaged legacy exposure a meaningful risk. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Black Ice Software Annotation Plugin 10.95 and BiAnno.ocx.; Remove the plugin where no business owner can justify continued use.; Block or tightly restrict ActiveX controls in managed browsers..
