Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2013-5026 affects National Instruments Lookout 6.5 through 6.7 ActiveX controls. A remote attacker could cause arbitrary code execution by making the control download and call an arbitrary DLL. This is serious where old Lookout systems or workstations can invoke these controls. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running National Instruments Lookout 6.5 through 6.7 with the affected OCX controls registered or usable. Internet-facing exposure is not established by the sources, but user workstations that can instantiate the ActiveX control deserve review. Treat this as a legacy industrial-software risk with potentially high impact but uncertain prevalence. Prioritize discovery first, then remediation planning for any Lookout 6.5 through 6.7 systems still in production. Mitigation focus: Inventory National Instruments Lookout 6.5 through 6.7 installations.; Check the linked National Instruments guidance for official fixes or workarounds.; Remove or upgrade affected Lookout versions where vendor guidance supports it..
