Summary

The SUPERGRIDLib.SuperGrid ActiveX control in SuperGrid.ocx versions before 65.30.30000.10002 presents a security concern in WellinTech KingView prior to version 6.53. It inadequately restricts calls to the ReplaceDBFile method, enabling remote attackers to exploit this flaw. By leveraging directory traversal techniques, they can potentially create or overwrite arbitrary files on the server, leading to unauthorized execution of programs. This vulnerability emphasizes the critical need for prompt updates and security reviews in applications utilizing ActiveX controls.
