Official Description

The BWOCXRUN.BwocxrunCtrl.1 control contains a method named

OpenUrlToBufferTimeout. This method takes a URL as a parameter and

returns its contents to the caller in JavaScript. The URLs are accessed

in the security context of the current browser session. The control does

not perform any URL validation and allows file:// URLs that access the

The method can be used to open a URL (including file URLs) and read

the URLs through JavaScript. This method could also be used to reach any

arbitrary URL to which the browser has access.
