Andrea Micalizzi has discovered a vulnerability in McAfee Virtual Technician MVTControl ActiveX Control, which can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due to the "GetObject()" method (mvt.dll) allowing to instantiate arbitrary COM objects. This can be exploited to e.g. use the "WScript.Shell" component and execute arbitrary commands via the "Exec()" method.

Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 6.3.0.1911. Other versions may also be affected.
