Description

nProtect Netizen and nProtect Personal contains a flaw that may allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code. The problem is that the 'Npos' ActiveX control does not verify the URL of the update site and the origin of the update configuration file. By creating a malicious web site containing a specially crafted update configuration file and tricking a victim to visit that site, it is possible for a remote attacker to download and execute arbitrary files resulting in a loss of integrity.
