Forums -> UltraMon™ -> UltraMon security issue

A security issue has been discovered in UltraMon which could be exploited by a malicious website to run a program on the local system.

Affected versions of UltraMon: 2.0 Beta 4 - Beta 7. If you are using 2.0 RC1 you are NOT affected by this issue, and don't need to apply the patch.

To fix this vulnerability, 3 UltraMon-related registry keys need to be deleted. A script is available to do this: remove_sfs.zip. After downloading the ZIP file, extract it to a folder of your choice and run the remove_sfs.vbs file by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows 2000/XP, you'll need to be logged in as administrator in order to run the script.

If you are using anti-virus software, you may get a warning when running the script: this warning can be safely ignored.

You can also delete the registry keys manually using regedit.exe. The following keys need to be deleted (including subkeys):

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{275DB82D-B1AB-40E2-A70A-B1ACBCD81B38}\Implemented Categories

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{9E6677A4-3C7A-4136-81DD-E2A4CF433259}\Implemented Categories

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{1BC64DEE-F18D-42FF-8C10-E375F2F1E501}\Implemented Categories

Technical details:

the problem is that several COM objects used by UltraMon were marked as safe for scripting.

This means that they can be used on a web page if you are using Internet Explorer with default security settings (ActiveX objects and client-side scripting enabled).

In the worst-case scenario, this would enable a malicious website to run any application on the local system by using the Utility object's Run method.

Γεια σου, πρόσφατα ήθελα να ξεφύγω από τη ρουτίνα και βρήκα το vegas hero. Μου άρεσαν τα μπόνους για παίκτες από την Ελλάδα και ξεκίνησα με το παιχνίδι Mega Wheel. Αρχικά έχασα κάποιες περιστροφές, αλλά ένα μεγάλο κέρδος μου έδωσε ενθουσιασμό. Είναι πλέον ο αγαπημένος μου τρόπος να χαλαρώνω.
