Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01, 5.5, 6.0

Description The issue allows remote attackers to invoke executables present on the local system through objects such as the popup object. This occurs because Microsoft Internet Explorer treats objects invoked on an HTML page with the codebase property as part of the Local Computer zone.

Recommendations For Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01, 5.5, 6.0, consider disabling the invocation of objects such as the popup object until a patch is available. Restrict access to local system executables to minimize the risk of exploitation.
