**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Data Dynamics ActiveReports version 2.5.0.1314
**Description**
The issue concerns multiple insecure method vulnerabilities in the DDActiveReportsViewer2.ARViewer2 ActiveX control. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files by calling specific methods, including the `Pages.Save`, `PrintReport`, or `Canvas.Save` methods.
**Recommendations**
For Data Dynamics ActiveReports version 2.5.0.1314, consider disabling the `Pages.Save`, `PrintReport`, and `Canvas.Save` methods as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the arview2.ocx ActiveX control to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
