| Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection') The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. |

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

<b>Description:
This ocx contains a lot of extreme dangerous methods. Theese two are very interesting, they are:
"StartProcess()" and "SyncShell()"
Using one of them, you'll be able to run every program you like, simply giving to the method the
right argument.
In this PoC, I use the "StartProcess()" method to execute the calc.exe, but you can do everything
you like.
Anyway, I think you could imagine what impact could have this kind of vulnerability :D
Other dangerous methods of this ocx are:
"SaveAs()"
"CABDefaultURL()"
"CABFileName()"
"CABRunFile()"</b>
