Description:
Will Dormann has reported a vulnerability in WeOnlyDo wodSFTP, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the wodSFTP ActiveX control being marked as "safe for scripting" via the IObjectSafety interface. This can be exploited to retrieve files from, or to download files onto the user's system via malicious script code in a HTML document.
