PowerTCP ActiveX DartFtp.dll Remote Code Execution

The PowerTCP ActiveX component, specifically the DartFtp.dll, is vulnerable to remote code execution. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious script and tricking a user into clicking a button that launches the exploit. The vulnerability allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the affected software.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update the PowerTCP ActiveX component to a non-vulnerable version. Additionally, users should exercise caution when clicking on buttons or executing scripts from untrusted sources.

Description: 

"PowerTCP tools from Dart Communications are comprehensive tools you can 
include in your programs to perform common TCP/IP functions, including FTP, 
HTTP, SMTP, POP3, telnet, and SNMP. In addition, Dart supplies a series of 
other tools, such as a Zip compressor and a VT320 terminal emulator. This 
review, however, will focus only on two tools: the FTP Tool and the Mail Tool, 
which supports SMTP and POP3."
