An ActiveX control in NationalInstruments.Help2.dll in National Instruments NI .NET Class Library Help, as used in Measurement Studio 2013 and earlier and other products, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information about the existence of registry keys via crafted (1) key-open or (2) key-close method calls.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw lets a remote attacker learn whether specific Windows registry keys exist through a vulnerable National Instruments ActiveX help component. The public bundle does not show code execution or confirmed exploitation, but it can expose system details useful for follow-on attacks. Exposure is most likely on Windows systems with legacy National Instruments software, especially Measurement Studio 2013 or earlier, or other NI products bundling NationalInstruments.Help2.dll. Risk depends on whether the ActiveX control is installed and can be invoked in the local environment. Moderate operational attention is appropriate for environments using legacy NI engineering software. The issue appears limited to information disclosure, but it involves old ActiveX technology and could aid attacker reconnaissance. Prioritize inventory and vendor-guided remediation over emergency response. Mitigation focus: Inventory hosts for Measurement Studio 2013 or earlier and NationalInstruments.Help2.dll.; Review the linked NI advisories for affected product mapping and supported remediation.; Remove unused NI help or class library components from endpoints and build machines..
