    Hi,

    There are couple tools that can help you to analyze ActiveX security. One is
    COMBust
    (http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/vulnerability_scanning/) that can
    automatically fuzz
    the IDispatch interface of an ActiveX control. But this tool is kind of lame
    to me; however,
    if you are interested in it, there is a presentation about it somewhere on
    BlackHat site. Another good
    tool is DrCom
    (http://www.atstake.com/research/tools/vulnerability_scanning/) which
    is not free though. It allows you to see the behavior of the ActiveX objects
    and also let
    you invoke the functions manually. Hope that help.
