Weakness (CWE)

CWE-618: Exposed Unsafe ActiveX Method

Variant Incomplete

An ActiveX control is intended for use in a web browser, but it exposes dangerous methods that perform actions that are outside of the browser's security model (e.g. the zone or domain).

How to prevent it (3 mitigations)

  1. Implementation

    If you must expose a method, make sure to perform input validation on all arguments, and protect against all possible vulnerabilities.

  2. Architecture and Design

    Use code signing, although this does not protect against any weaknesses that are already in the control.

  3. Architecture and Design, System Configuration

    Where possible, avoid marking the control as safe for scripting.
