Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8

Description The issue is related to the XSS Filter in Microsoft Internet Explorer, which does not properly perform neutering for the SCRIPT tag. This allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against web sites that have no inherent XSS vulnerabilities.

Recommendations For Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8, consider disabling the XSS Filter as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to potentially vulnerable web sites to minimize the risk of exploitation.
