Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions iMesh versions 7.1.0.x and earlier

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an Internet Explorer 7 crash, by passing an empty string in the argument to the ProcessRequestEx method. This is related to the IMWeb.IMWebControl.1 ActiveX control in IMWeb.dll.

Recommendations For iMesh versions 7.1.0.x and earlier, consider disabling the ProcessRequestEx method as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to the IMWeb.IMWebControl.1 ActiveX control to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using empty strings in the argument to the ProcessRequestEx method in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved.
