CCN-11466

Published:2003-02-25
Updated:2003-02-25
Summary:Microsoft Internet Explorer could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a victim's computer, caused by improper parsing of embedded script in HTML files when used to reference an embedded executable. A remote attacker could create a malicious Web page that contains an embedded EXE file that is referenced by embedded script. Once a victim views the malicious page, the malicious EXE file would be executed within the victim's Web browser, which could possibly allow the attacker to read files or execute commands on the victim's computer.
