CVE-2009-0194: Garmin Communicator Plugin

High severity, CVSS 9.3. EPSS: 2.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The domain-locking implementation in the GARMINAXCONTROL.GarminAxControl_t.1 ActiveX control in npGarmin.dll in the Garmin Communicator Plug-In 2.6.4.0 does not properly enforce the restrictions that (1) download and (2) upload requests come from a web site specified by the user, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information or reconfigure Garmin GPS devices via unspecified vectors related to a "synchronisation error."

Affected products
