31
FAUCET Score

CVE-2006-6488 describes a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the DoModal function of the ICONICS Dialog Wrapper Module ActiveX control (DlgWrapper.dll) prior to version 8.4.166.0. This flaw, affecting ICONICS OPC Enabled Gauge, Switch, and Vessel ActiveX products, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying an overly long FileName or Filter argument. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed on the KEV catalog, a Metasploit module for exploitation exists, and its FAUCET Risk Score of 97/100 indicates a high likelihood of successful exploitation, despite minimal community discussion or media coverage.
