Synopsis

The remote host has multiple ActiveX controls with code execution vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote install of IBM SPSS SamplePower has a vulnerable version of one or more ActiveX controls installed. 'Vsflex8l.ocx', 'c1sizer.ocx', 'vsflex7l .ocx', and 'olch2x32.ocx' ActiveX controls have unspecified arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by tricking a user into opening a specially crafted web page.

Solution

Upgrade to IBM SPSS SamplePower 3.0 FP 1 or higher.

Public Exploits

Target Network Port(s): N/A
Target Asset(s): N/A
Exploit Available: True (Metasploit Framework, Exploit-DB, Immunity Canvas, Core Impact)
Exploit Ease: Exploits are available

Here's the list of publicly known exploits and PoCs for verifying the IBM SPSS SamplePower 3.0 < 3.0 FP 1 Multiple ActiveX Controls Arbitrary Code Execution vulnerability:

Metasploit: exploit/windows/browser/ibm_spss_c1sizer
[IBM SPSS SamplePower C1Tab ActiveX Heap Overflow]
Exploit-DB: exploits/windows/remote/25814.rb

How to Run

Here is how to run the IBM SPSS SamplePower 3.0 < 3.0 FP 1 Multiple ActiveX Controls Arbitrary Code Execution as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select Windows plugin family.
On the right side table select IBM SPSS SamplePower 3.0 < 3.0 FP 1 Multiple ActiveX Controls Arbitrary Code Execution plugin ID 66473.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl ibm_spss_sample_power_activex.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a ibm_spss_sample_power_activex.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - ibm_spss_sample_power_activex.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state ibm_spss_sample_power_activex.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
