CVE-2012-0246
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedDirectory traversal vulnerability in an unspecified ActiveX control in Ecava IntegraXor before 3.71.4200 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving an HTML document on the server.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceDirectory traversal vulnerability in an unspecified ActiveX control in Ecava IntegraXor (HMI/SCADA software) before version 3.71.4200 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted HTML documents on the server.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Check if Ecava IntegraXor is installedLook for the IntegraXor installation directory, typically under C:\Program Files\Ecava\IntegraXor or C:\IntegraXor. Also check Windows Registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ecava or HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Ecava for IntegraXor entries.Affected if The software is found installed on the system.
-
Identify the installed IntegraXor versionCheck the version by opening the IntegraXor application, looking in the installation directory for a version file or executable properties, or querying the Windows Registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Ecava\IntegraXor\Version if present.Affected if The installed version matches any of these: <= 3.60.4061, 3.5.3900.5, 3.5.3900.10, 3.6.4000.0, or 3.60.
-
Verify the ActiveX control is web-accessibleCheck if the IntegraXor web server is running and the ActiveX control (typically referenced as SafeX or similar ActiveX components in the web interface) is accessible via the web interface on the default port 80 or configured HTTP port. Access the web URL such as http://localhost/ and look for ActiveX object references in the HTML.Affected if The IntegraXor web server is running and serves ActiveX controls to clients.
-
Inspect for HTML documents on the serverReview HTML files stored in the IntegraXor web root directory (commonly found in the \web or \www subfolder within the installation directory) for suspicious script tags or parameters that could indicate exploitation attempts.Affected if Crafted HTML documents exist on the server that target the directory traversal vulnerability in the ActiveX control.
A user is affected if Ecava IntegraXor version 3.60 or below (including specific versions 3.5.3900.5, 3.5.3900.10, 3.6.4000.0, or 3.60.4061) is installed and the ActiveX control is web-accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to IntegraXor version 3.71.4200 or later to patch the vulnerable ActiveX control. If upgrading is not immediately feasible, disable or restrict access to the ActiveX control and implement network segmentation to limit exposure.
Ecava IntegraXor version 3.71.4200 or later
- 1. Identify the current IntegraXor version by checking the application or system information
- 2. If the current version is 3.71.4200 or higher, the vulnerability is already patched
- 3. If the current version is lower than 3.71.4200 (including any 3.5.x, 3.6.x, or 3.60.x versions up to 3.60.4061), plan an upgrade to version 3.71.4200 or later
- 4. Obtain the fixed version 3.71.4200 or newer from the official Ecava website or authorized distribution channels
- 5. Test the new version in a non-production environment to verify functionality
- 6. Apply the upgrade to production systems
