Word viewer OCX V 3.2 Remote File Overwrite exploit
This exploit allows an attacker to overwrite a file on the victim's system. The exploit uses a malicious HTML page containing a malicious object tag with a CLSID of {97AF4A45-49BE-4485-9F55-91AB40F22BF2}. When the malicious page is opened, the malicious object tag calls the Save() method of the Word Viewer OCX, which allows the attacker to overwrite a file on the victim's system. The malicious page contains a JavaScript function that calls the Save() method with a file path of c:windowssystem_.ini, which will overwrite the system.ini file on the victim's system.
Mitigation:
The user should not open any suspicious HTML pages or click on any malicious links.
