Multiple insecure method vulnerabilities in the Web On Windows (WOW) ActiveX control in WOW ActiveX 2 allow remote attackers to (1) create and overwrite arbitrary files via the WriteIniFileString method, (2) execute arbitrary programs via the ShellExecute method, (3) read from the registry via unspecified vectors, and (4) write to the registry via unspecified vectors. NOTE: vectors 1 and 2 can be used together to execute arbitrary code.
