The vulnerabilities are caused due to the "Import.LoadFromURL()" and "Export.asText.SaveToFile()" insecure methods of TeeChart Pro ActiveX control (TeeChart7.ocx). This can be exploited to e.g. load an arbitrary URI containing a specially crafted ".tee" file and save the result in an arbitrary location on a user's system. Successful exploitation requires that the user is e.g. tricked into visiting a malicious web site. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 7.0.1.3. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not browse untrusted web sites.
