CVSS v3.1 |
| The Microsoft Active Setup ActiveX component in Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x allows a remote attacker to install software components without prompting the user by stating that the software's manufacturer is Microsoft. |
| The Microsoft virtual machine (VM) in Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x allows a remote attacker to read files via a malicious Java applet that escapes the Java sandbox, aka the "VM File Reading" vulnerability. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Internet Explorer to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application. |
| Internet Explorer 4.x and 5.x does not properly re-validate an SSL certificate if the user establishes a new SSL session with the same server during the same Internet Explorer session, aka one of two different "SSL Certificate Validation" vulnerabilities. |
| Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions and read arbitrary files by (1) modifying the createTextRange method and using CreateLink, as demonstrated using LinkillerSaveRef, LinkillerJPU, and Linkiller, or (2) modifying the createRange method and using the FIND dialog to select text, as demonstrated using Findeath, aka the "Function Pointer Override Cross Domain" vulnerability. |
| Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and earlier allows remote attackers to bypass zone restrictions by (1) using the NavigateAndFind method to load a file: URL containing Javascript, as demonstrated by NAFfileJPU, (2) using the window.open method to load a file: URL containing Javascript, as demonstrated using WsOpenFileJPU, (3) setting the href property in the base tag for the _search window, as demonstrated using WsBASEjpu, (4) loading the search window into an Iframe, as demonstrated using WsFakeSrc, (5) caching a javascript: URL in the browser history, then accessing that URL in the same frame as the target domain, as demonstrated using WsOpenJpuInHistory, NAFjpuInHistory, BackMyParent, BackMyParent2, and RefBack, aka the "Script URLs Cross Domain" vulnerability. |
| The showHelp() function in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 supports certain types of pluggable protocols that allow remote attackers to bypass the cross-domain security model and execute arbitrary code, aka "Improper Cross Domain Security Validation with ShowHelp functionality." |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, when handling an expired CA-CERT in a webserver's certificate chain during a SSL/TLS handshake, does not prompt the user before searching for and finding a newer certificate, which may allow attackers to perform a man-in-the-middle attack. NOTE: it is not clear whether this poses a vulnerability. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 through 6.0 could allow local users to differentiate between alphanumeric and non-alphanumeric characters used in a password by pressing certain control keys that jump between non-alphanumeric characters, which makes it easier to conduct a brute-force password guessing attack. |
| Buffer overflow in various Microsoft applications for Macintosh allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code by invoking the file:// directive with a large number of / characters, which affects Internet Explorer 5.1, Outlook Express 5.0 through 5.0.2, Entourage v. X and 2001, PowerPoint v. X, 2001, and 98, and Excel v. X and 2001 for Macintosh. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a link with "::{" (colon colon left brace), which triggers a null dereference when the user attempts to save the link using "Save As" and Internet Explorer prepares an error message with an attacker-controlled format string. |
| Heap-based buffer overflow in the Remote Data Services (RDS) component of Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 2.1 through 2.6, and Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0, allows remote attackers to execute code via a malformed HTTP request to the Data Stub. |
| Internet Explorer 5.01 through 6.0 does not properly perform security checks on certain encoded characters within a URL, which allows a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information from a user by redirecting the user to another site that has that information, aka "Encoded Characters Information Disclosure." |
| Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to bypass the file download warning dialog and possibly trick an unknowledgeable user into executing arbitrary code via a web page with a body element containing an onclick tag, as demonstrated using the createElement function. |
| Internet Explorer in Windows XP SP2, and other versions including 5.01 and 5.5, allows remote attackers to install arbitrary programs via a web page that uses certain styles and the AnchorClick behavior, popup windows, and drag-and-drop capabilities to drop the program in the local startup folder, as demonstrated by "wottapoop.html". |
| Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via drag and drop events, aka the "Drag-and-Drop Vulnerability." |
| Internet Explorer 6.0 on Windows XP SP2 allows remote attackers to spoof the domain name of a URL in a titlebar for a script-initiated popup window, which could facilitate phishing attacks. |
| Race condition in the memory management routines in the DHTML object processor in Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malicious web page or HTML e-mail, aka "DHTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability". |
| The FTP client in Windows XP SP1 and Server 2003, and Internet Explorer 6 SP1 on Windows 2000 SP4, when "Enable Folder View for FTP Sites" is enabled and the user manually initiates a file transfer, allows user-assisted, remote FTP servers to overwrite files in arbitrary locations via crafted filenames. |
| Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6, when using an HTTPS proxy server that requires Basic Authentication, sends URLs in cleartext, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information, aka "HTTPS Proxy Vulnerability." |
