Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions C6 Messenger version 1.0.0.1

Description The issue allows remote attackers to force the download and execution of arbitrary files. This is achieved via a URL in the propDownloadUrl parameter when the propPostDownloadAction parameter is set to "run".

Recommendations For version 1.0.0.1, avoid using the propDownloadUrl parameter with the propPostDownloadAction parameter set to "run" until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the DownloaderActiveX Control to minimize the risk of exploitation.
