CVE-2012-5897: The (1) SimpleTree and (2) ReportTree classes in the ARDoc ActiveX control (ARDoc.dll) in Quest InTrust 10....

The (1) SimpleTree and (2) ReportTree classes in the ARDoc ActiveX control (ARDoc.dll) in Quest InTrust 10.4.0.853 and earlier do not properly implement the SaveToFile method, which allows remote attackers to write or overwrite arbitrary files via the bstrFileName argument.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Quest InTrust shipped an ActiveX component that could let a remote attacker make a vulnerable Windows system write or overwrite files. The public record names InTrust 10.4.0.853 and earlier. Business risk is highest where legacy Internet Explorer or ActiveX workflows still exist on systems with this control installed. Exposure is likely limited to Windows endpoints or servers where Quest InTrust installed ARDoc.dll and where the affected ActiveX control can be instantiated remotely, especially legacy browser environments. Treat this as a legacy technology exposure review. It is not KEV-listed, but arbitrary file overwrite through ActiveX can become serious on systems where the control remains reachable. Mitigation focus: Inventory Quest InTrust installations at version 10.4.0.853 or earlier.; Check Quest or current vendor guidance for fixed versions or supported remediation.; Remove or disable the affected ActiveX control where it is not required..
