Question

Do Quick Fields, Bar Code, or Agent use KeyWorks KeyHelp?

asked on February 2, 2015

Our system admin ran a Nessus scan on our Laserfiche installation which revealed a vulnerable ActiveX control on a fresh virtual machine who's only unique properties are housing the QuickFields, QF Barcode, and QF Agent applications.

 

Quick Fields - Version 9.0.0

Quick Fields Barcode - 9.1.0.0

Quick Fields Agent - 9.0

 

Here's the results of the scan:

Synopsis :

The remote host has an ActiveX control installed that has multiple
vulnerabilities.

Description :

The remote host has KeyWorks KeyHelp ActiveX control installed, which
is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

- Multiple stack-based buffer overflows exist that could
allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2012-2515)

- An unspecified command injection vulnerability.
(CVE-2012-2516)

Solution :

Remove or disable the control as it is no longer supported.
Risk factor :

High / CVSS Base Score : 9.3
(CVSS2#AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C)
CVSS Temporal Score : 8.4
(CVSS2#E:F/RL:W/RC:ND)
Public Exploit Available : true

 

Would someone be able to confirm if this is part of the Quick Fields application set and what impact disabling the control would have?

 

Cheers,

 

Carl

Hi @Miruna ,

I have another customer who has asked a similar question. What is KeyWorks KeyHelp ActiveX control used for and can it be removed from the Laserfiche servers?

There are no ActiveX controls in LF products. This (very old) vulnerability report indicates that it may be (have been?) part of EMC Captiva which may come bundled with some scanners. I'm not sure why that would be on a server, but Laserfiche most definitely does not use it.
