ActiveX control bypasses the ActiveX security model, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system.\n\n### Description\n\n**ActiveX**\n\n[ActiveX](<http://www.microsoft.com/com/default.mspx>) is a technology that allows programmers to create reusable software components that can be incorporated into applications to extend their functionality. Internet Explorer is a common Windows application that makes use of ActiveX controls. \n \n**ActiveX safety determination** \n \nInternet Explorer determines if an ActiveX control is safe by querying the [IObjectSafety interface](<http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/components/com/reference/ifaces/iobjectsafety/iobjectsafety.asp>) of the object and by querying the Implemented Categories registry key for the control, as specified by [Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 216434](<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/216434/>) and the [MSDN ActiveX safety article](<http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/components/activex/safety.asp>). \n \n**ActiveX security options** \n \nThrough either the IObjectSafety interface or the appropriate registry values, an ActiveX control can be marked as \"safe for scripting\" and/or \"safe for initialization.\" According to the MSDN article [Signing and Marking ActiveX Controls](<http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnaxctrl/html/msdn_signmark.asp>): \n \n_If you mark your control as safe for initializing, you are asserting that no matter what values are used to initialize your control, it won't do anything that would damage a user's system or compromise the user's security._ \n \n_If you mark your control as safe for scripting, you are asserting that your control won't do anything to damage a user's system or compromise the user's security, regardless of how your control's methods and properties are manipulated by the Web page's script. In other words, it has to accept any method calls (with any parameters) and/or property manipulations in any order without doing anything bad._ \nThe MSDN article [Designing Secure ActiveX Controls](<http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/components/activex/security.asp>) states: \n \n_Controls are marked as not safe for scripting or data initialization by default. Don't implement them unless the functionality of the control is hampered without them._ \n**The WMI Object Broker ActiveX control** \n \nThe WMI Object Broker ActiveX control is an object that comes with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. It may also be present in other software packages. The control is provided by the file `wmiscriptutils.dll`. This control is marked as \"safe for scripting,\" which means that a web page can control the object, such as by calling its methods. \n \n**The problem** \n \nThe WMI Object Broker ActiveX control includes a method that can create an instance of an ActiveX control that exists on the system. The ActiveX objects created in this manner will bypass the ActiveX security model. For example, the \"[kill bit](<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240797>)\" and \"[safe for scripting](<http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/components/activex/safety.asp>)\" options are ignored. \n \nNote that public reports indicate this vulnerability is actively being exploited. \n \nFor more information refer to Microsoft Security Advisory ([927709](<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/927709.mspx>)). \n \n--- \n \n### Impact\n\nBy convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page or an HTML email message or attachment), an attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. \n \n--- \n \n### Solution\n\n**Apply Updates** \n \nApply the appropriate updates described in Microsoft Security Bulletin [MS06-073](<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-073.mspx>). This update provides a newer version of the WMI Object Broker ActiveX control. Microsoft Security Bulletin [MS07-016](<http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS07-016.mspx>) also sets the kill bit for the WMI Object Broker ActiveX control, which prevents Internet Explorer from using it. \n \n--- \n \n \n**Disable the WMI Object Broker ActiveX control in Internet Explorer** \n \nThe WMI Object Broker ActiveX control can be disabled in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the following CLSID: \n \n`{7F5B7F63-F06F-4331-8A26-339E03C0AE3D}` \n \nMore information about how to set the kill bit is available in [Microsoft Support Document 240797](<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240797>). \n \n**Disable ActiveX** \n \nDisabling ActiveX controls in the Internet Zone (or any zone used by an attacker) appears to prevent exploitation of this vulnerability. Instructions for disabling ActiveX in the Internet Zone can be found in the \"[Securing Your Web Browser\"](<http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/securing_browser/#Internet_Explorer>) document[](<http://www.us-cert.gov/reading_room/securing_browser/#Internet_Explorer>) and the [Malicious Web Scripts FAQ](<http://www.cert.org/tech_tips/malicious_code_FAQ.html#ie56>). \n \n--- \n

The article also documents recommended solutions for these issues. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 925674.\r\nTop of sectionTop of section\r\n\t\r\nVulnerability Details\r\n\t\r\nWMI Object Broker Vulnerability - CVE-2006-4704:\r\n\r\nA remote code execution vulnerability exists in the WMI Object Broker control that the WMI Wizard uses in Visual Studio 2005.An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a specially crafted Web page that could potentially allow remote code execution if a user viewed the Web page. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system.\r\n\t\r\nMitigating Factors for WMI Object Broker Vulnerability - CVE-2006-4704:\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nIn a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to exploit this vulnerability. In addition, compromised Web sites and Web sites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements could contain specially crafted content that could exploit this vulnerability. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit these Web sites. Instead, an attacker would have to persuade users to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link in an e-mail message or instant messenger message that takes users to the attacker&#39;s Web site.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nBy default, this ActiveX control is not included in the default allow-list for ActiveX controls in Internet Explorer 7. Only customers who have explicitly approved this control by using the ActiveX opt-in feature are at risk to attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, if a customer has used this ActiveX control in a previous version of Internet Explorer, then this ActiveX control is enabled to work in Internet Explorer 7, even if the customer has not explicitly approved it using the ActiveX opt-in Feature.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nAn attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nThe Restricted sites zone helps reduce attacks that could try to exploit this vulnerability by preventing Active Scripting and ActiveX controls from being used when reading HTML e-mail. However, if a user clicks on a link within an e-mail they could still be vulnerable to this issue through the Web-based attack scenario.\r\n \r\nBy default, all supported versions of Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Outlook Express open HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone. The Restricted sites zone helps reduce attacks that could try to exploit this vulnerability by preventing Active Scripting and ActiveX controls from being used when reading HTML e-mail. However, if a user clicks on a link within an e-mail they could still be vulnerable to this issue through the Web-based attack scenario.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nBy default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode sets the security level for the Internet zone to High. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that have not been added to Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. See the FAQ section of this security update for more information about Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.\r\nTop of sectionTop of section\r\n\t\r\nWorkarounds for WMI Object Broker Vulnerability - CVE-2006-4704:\r\n\r\nMicrosoft has tested the following workarounds. Although these workarounds will not correct the underlying vulnerability, they help block known attack vectors. When a workaround reduces functionality, it is identified in the following section.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nDisable attempts to instantiate the WMI Object Broker control\r\n\r\nYou can disable attempts to instantiate this ActiveX control in Internet Explorer by setting the kill bit for the control in the registry.\r\n\r\nWarning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.\r\n\r\nFor detailed steps that you can use to prevent a control from running in Internet Explorer, see Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 240797. Follow these steps in this article to create a Compatibility Flags value in the registry to prevent a COM object from being instantiated in Internet Explorer.\r\n\r\nTo set the kill bit for a CLSID with a value of {7F5B7F63-F06F-4331-8A26-339E03C0AE3D} paste the following text in a text editor such as Notepad. Then, save the file by using the .reg file name extension.\r\n\r\nWindows Registry Editor Version 5.00\r\n\r\n[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE&#92;SOFTWARE&#92;Microsoft&#92;Internet Explorer&#92;ActiveX Compatibility&#92;{7F5B7F63-F06F-4331-8A26-339E03C0AE3D}]\r\n&quot;Compatibility Flags&quot;=dword:00000400\r\n\r\nYou can apply this .reg file to individual systems by double-clicking it. You can also apply it across domains by using Group Policy. For more information about Group Policy, visit the following Microsoft Web sites:\r\n\r\nGroup Policy collection\r\n\r\nWhat is Group Policy Object Editor?\r\n\r\nCore Group Policy tools and settings\r\n\r\nNote: You must restart Internet Explorer for your changes to take effect.\r\n\r\nImpact of Workaround: The WMI Wizard in Visual Studio 2005 may no longer display or function correctly.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nConfigure Internet Explorer to prompt before running ActiveX Controls or disable ActiveX Controls in the Internet and Local intranet security zone\r\n\r\nYou can help protect against this vulnerability by changing your Internet Explorer settings to prompt before running ActiveX controls. To do this, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n1.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nIn Internet Explorer, click Internet Options on the Tools menu.\r\n\r\n2.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nClick the Security tab.\r\n\r\n3.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nClick Internet, and then click Custom Level.\r\n\r\n4.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nUnder Settings, in the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section, under Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins, click Prompt or Disable, and then click OK.\r\n\r\n5.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nClick Local intranet, and then click Custom Level.\r\n\r\n6.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nUnder Settings, in the ActiveX controls and plug-ins section, under Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins, click Prompt or Disable, and then click OK.\r\n\r\n7.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nClick OK two times to return to Internet Explorer.\r\n\r\nImpact of Workaround: There are side effects to prompting before running ActiveX controls. Many Web sites that are on the Internet or on an intranet use ActiveX to provide additional functionality. For example, an online e-commerce site or banking site may use ActiveX controls to provide menus, ordering forms, or even account statements. Prompting before running ActiveX controls is a global setting that affects all Internet and intranet sites. You will be prompted frequently when you enable this workaround. For each prompt, if you feel you trust the site that you are visiting, click Yes to run ActiveX controls. If you do not want to be prompted for all these sites, use the steps outlined in &quot;Add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone\u201d.\r\n\r\nAdd sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone\r\n\r\nAfter you set Internet Explorer to require a prompt before it runs ActiveX controls and Active Scripting in the Internet zone and in the Local intranet zone, you can add sites that you trust to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. This will allow you to continue to use trusted Web sites exactly as you do today, while helping to protect you from this attack on untrusted sites. We recommend that you add only sites that you trust to the Trusted sites zone.\r\n\r\nTo do this, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n1.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nIn Internet Explorer, click Tools, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab.\r\n\r\n2.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nIn the Select a Web content zone to specify its current security settings box, click Trusted Sites, and then click Sites.\r\n\r\n3.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nIf you want to add sites that do not require an encrypted channel, click to clear the Require server verification &#40;https:&#41; for all sites in this zone check box.\r\n\r\n4.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nIn the Add this Web site to the zone box, type the URL of a site that you trust, and then click Add.\r\n\r\n5.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nRepeat these steps for each site that you want to add to the zone.\r\n\r\n6.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nClick OK two times to accept the changes and return to Internet Explorer.\r\n\r\nNote Add any sites that you trust not to take malicious action on your computer. Two in particular that you may want to add are &quot;*.windowsupdate.microsoft.com&quot; and \u201c*.update.microsoft.com\u201d &#40;without the quotation marks&#41;. These are the sites that will host the update, and it requires an ActiveX Control to install the update.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nSet Internet and Local intranet security zone settings to \u201cHigh\u201d to prompt before running ActiveX Controls and Active Scripting in these zones\r\n\r\nYou can help protect against this vulnerability by changing your settings for the Internet security zone to prompt before running ActiveX controls. You can do this by setting your browser security to High.\r\n\r\nTo raise the browsing security level in Microsoft Internet Explorer, follow these steps:\r\n\r\n1.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nOn the Internet Explorer Tools menu, click Internet Options.\r\n\r\n2.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nIn the Internet Options dialog box, click the Security tab, and then click the Internet icon.\r\n\r\n3.\r\n\t\r\n\r\nUnder Security level for this zone, move the slider to High. This sets the security level for all Web sites you visit to High.\r\n\r\nNote If no slider is visible, click Default Level, and then move the slider to High.\r\n\r\nNote Setting the level to High may cause some Web sites to work incorrectly. If you have difficulty using a Web site after you change this setting, and you are sure the site is safe to use, you can add that site to your list of trusted sites. This will allow the site to work correctly even with the security setting set to High.\r\n\r\nImpact of Workaround: There are side effects to prompting before running ActiveX controls. Many Web sites that are on the Internet or on an intranet use ActiveX to provide additional functionality. For example, an online e-commerce site or banking site may use ActiveX controls to provide menus, ordering forms, or even account statements. Prompting before running ActiveX controls is a global setting that affects all Internet and intranet sites. You will be prompted frequently when you enable this workaround.

These are the sites that will host the update, and it requires an ActiveX Control to install the update.\r\nTop of sectionTop of section\r\n\t\r\nFAQ for WMI Object Broker Vulnerability - CVE-2006-4704:\r\n\r\nWhat is the scope of the vulnerability?\r\nThis is a remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.\r\n\r\nWhat causes the vulnerability?\r\nImproper validation of controls instantiated by WMI Object Broker causes the vulnerability. \r\n\r\nWhat is WMI Object Broker?\r\nWMI Object Broker is an ActiveX control that the WMI Wizard uses in Visual Studio 2005. When a user invokes the WMI Wizard feature of Visual Studio 2005, the wizard internally uses WMI Object Broker to instantiate other controls.\r\n\r\nWhat might an attacker use the vulnerability to do?\r\nAn attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.\r\n\r\nWho could exploit the vulnerability?\r\nIn a Web-based attack scenario, an attacker would have to host a Web site that contains a Web page that is used to attempt to exploit this vulnerability. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit a specially crafted Web site. Instead, an attacker would have to persuade them to visit the Web site, typically by getting them to click a link that takes them to the attacker&#39;s site.\r\n\r\nWhat systems are primarily at risk from the vulnerability?\r\nThis vulnerability requires that a user is logged on and visits a Web site for any malicious action to occur. Therefore, any systems that have Visual Studio 2005 installed where Internet Explorer is used frequently, such as workstations or terminal servers, are at the most risk from this vulnerability.\r\n\r\nI am running Internet Explorer 7. Does this mitigate this vulnerability?\r\nYes. Customers who are running Internet Explorer 7 with default settings, are not at risk until the WMI Object Broker control has been activated through the ActiveX opt-in feature in the Internet Zone. However, if a customer has used this ActiveX control in a previous version of Internet Explorer, then this ActiveX control is enabled to work in Internet Explorer 7, even if the customer has not explicitly approved it using the ActiveX opt-in feature.\r\n\r\nWhat is the ActiveX opt-in feature in Internet Explorer 7?\r\nInternet Explorer 7 includes an ActiveX opt-in feature, which means that nearly all pre-installed ActiveX controls are off by default. Users are prompted by the Information Bar before they can access a previously installed ActiveX Control that has not yet been used on the Internet. This enables a user to permit or deny access on a control-by-control basis. For more information about this and other new features see the Windows Internet Explorer 7 features page.\r\n\r\nI am running Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003. Does this mitigate this vulnerability?\r\nYes. By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode sets the security level for the Internet zone to High. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that have not been added to Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone. See the FAQ section of this security update for more information about Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration.\r\n\r\nWhat is Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration?\r\nInternet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration is a group of preconfigured Internet Explorer settings that reduce the likelihood of a user or administrator downloading and running malicious Web content on a server. Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration reduces this threat by modifying numerous security-related settings, including Security and Advanced tab settings in Internet Options. Some of the key modifications include:\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nSecurity level for the Internet zone is set to High. This setting disables scripts, ActiveX components, Microsoft virtual machine &#40;Microsoft VM&#41; HTML content, and file downloads.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nAutomatic detection of intranet sites is disabled. This setting assigns all intranet Web sites and all Universal Naming Convention &#40;UNC&#41; paths that are not explicitly listed in the Local intranet zone to the Internet zone.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nInstall on Demand and non-Microsoft browser extensions are disabled. This setting prevents Web pages from automatically installing components and prevents non-Microsoft extensions from running.\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nMultimedia content is disabled. This setting prevents music, animations, and video clips from running.\r\n\r\nFor more information regarding Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration, please consult the Managing Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration guide, which can be found at the following Web site.\r\n\r\nWhat does the update do?\r\nThe update removes the vulnerability by modifying the way that the WMI Object Broker instantiates other controls.\r\n\r\nWhen this security bulletin was issued, had this vulnerability been publicly disclosed?\r\n\r\nYes. This vulnerability has been publicly disclosed. It has been assigned Common Vulnerability and Exposure number CVE-2006-4704.\r\n\r\nWhen this security bulletin was issued, had Microsoft received any reports that this vulnerability was being exploited?\r\nYes. This security update addresses the vulnerability that is currently being exploited. The vulnerability that has been addressed has been assigned the Common Vulnerability and Exposure number CVE-2006-4704.\r\n\r\nAcknowledgments\r\n\r\nMicrosoft thanks the following for working with us to help protect customers:\r\n\u2022\t\r\n\r\nTippingPoint and the Zero Day Initiative, for originally reporting the WMI Object Broker Vulnerability - CVE-2006-4704.\r\n\r\n\r\nDisclaimer:\r\n\r\nThe information provided in the Microsoft Knowledge Base is provided &quot;as is&quot; without warranty of any kind.
