Descriptions

EMC ApplicationXtender Desktop before 6.5 SP2 and ApplicationXtender Web Access .NET before 6.5 SP2 allow remote attackers to upload files to any location, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via unspecified vectors.

EMC ApplicationXtender Desktop anterior a v6.5 SP2 y ApplicationXtender Web Access .NET anterior a v6.5 SP2 permite a atacantes remotos subir ficheros a cualquier localización, y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario, a través de vectores no especificados.

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of EMC ApplicationXtender. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the WxSuperCtrl650.ocx ActiveX control. By manipulating a combination of the DisplayImageFile, AnnoLoad and AnnoSave methods, the vulnerable AnnoSave() method can enable an attacker to save arbitrary files inside arbitrary locations. The attacker is able to control the file extension and the creation path via a directory traversal issue. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the process.
