Ewido Security Suite 4.0, when Internet Explorer 6 or 7 is used, allows remote attackers to bypass detection of malware in an HTML document by placing an MZ header (aka "EXE info") at the beginning, and modifying the filename to have (1) no extension, (2) a .txt extension, or (3) a .jpg extension, as demonstrated by a document containing a CVE-2006-5745 exploit.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old detection-bypass issue in Ewido Security Suite 4.0 when users browse with Internet Explorer 6 or 7. A malicious HTML file could be disguised so the product missed it. Business urgency is mainly for organizations with legacy systems, old browsers, or archived environments still relying on this control. Exposure appears limited to legacy endpoints using Ewido Security Suite 4.0 with Internet Explorer 6 or 7. The bundle does not provide CPEs or broader affected-version data, despite references mentioning multiple antivirus vendors. Prioritize this if legacy Windows browsing environments still exist. Otherwise, document it as historical technical debt with low immediate business urgency. The main risk is misplaced confidence in obsolete malware detection rather than a modern, broadly exploitable enterprise exposure. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems running Ewido Security Suite 4.0, Internet Explorer 6, or Internet Explorer 7.; Replace legacy browser and antivirus dependencies where still present.; Check vendor or archived vendor guidance for any available update or retirement advice..
