I have many COM objects available on my servers, some of these can  be used to do pretty much anything on the system - I need to implement some sort of security as I can't allow limited users to execute (for example) PHP scripts which then use COM objects to take control of the system.
The problem is system-wide, and exploitable through many different programming languages; unfortunately several of the COM objects to not have their own security mechanisms.

Is there a way of assigning access permissions to the COM registry?

How do I control access to COM objects/APIs?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
