Description:
Secunia Research has discovered a vulnerability in Garmin Communicator Plug-In, which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions.

The vulnerability is caused due to a synchronisation error in the GARMINAXCONTROL.GarminAxControl_t.1 ActiveX control (npGarmin.dll). This can be exploited to bypass the domain locking and dialog box presented to the user asking for confirmation that the untrusted site may access private data.

Successful exploitation allows full access to any Garmin GPS products connected to the user's system.

The vulnerability is confirmed in npGarmin.dll version 2.6.4.0. Other versions may also be affected.
