UCanCode E-XD++ Visualization Enterprise Suite Untrusted Pointer Dereference RCE

CVSS 8.6 HIGHEPSS 0.6%CWE-823
In short

UCanCode E-XD++ Visualization Suite has a flaw in its ActiveX control that allows attackers to run malicious code on a victim's computer when they open a specially crafted web page or file. The vulnerability occurs because the software doesn't properly validate pointer values before using them.

Technical detail

The TKDRAWCAD.TKDrawCADCtrl.1 ActiveX control exposes a RotateShape method that performs unsafe pointer dereference on user-supplied input without validation. An attacker can craft malicious input to trigger arbitrary pointer dereference, achieving remote code execution in the context of the hosting process; exploitation requires user interaction to instantiate the control via a compromised web page or file.

Summary generated and translated by AI from the official description.
UCanCode E-XD++ Visualization Enterprise Suite contains an untrusted pointer dereference vulnerability via the TKDRAWCAD.TKDrawCADCtrl.1 ActiveX control. This is because it exposes a RotateShape method that dereferences a user-supplied pointer without sufficient validation. A crafted input may cause the control to dereference an attacker-controlled pointer, enabling remote code execution in the context of the hosting process. The vulnerability requires user interaction (instantiation of the ActiveX control via a web page or a file).
