Description
The SUPERGRIDLib.SuperGrid ActiveX control in SuperGrid.ocx before 65.30.30000.10002 in WellinTech KingView before 6.53 does not properly restrict ReplaceDBFile method calls, which allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files, and subsequently execute arbitrary programs, via the two pathname arguments, as demonstrated by a directory traversal attack.
