CVE-2004-2663

CVE-2004-2663 describes a critical vulnerability in the IBM Access Support eGatherer ActiveX control version 2.0.0.16. This flaw allows remote attackers to create arbitrary files with attacker-controlled content on a victim's system, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution by creating files like .hta in a Startup folder. With a CVSS score of 7.5, it is a high-severity vulnerability that can be exploited over the network with low complexity and no authentication, resulting in partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. Despite its age and severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage.
