| Vetor | AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Internet Explorer versions 5.x
Description
The issue concerns the window.showHelp() method, which fails to restrict the execution of HTML help files (.chm) to the local host. This allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via Microsoft Networking.
Recommendations
For Internet Explorer version 5.x, consider disabling the window.showHelp() method until a patch is available. Restrict access to HTML help files (.chm) to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the window.showHelp() method for remote HTML help files until the issue is resolved.
