Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-008: XMLHTTP Control Can Allow Access to Local Files | |
|
||
| Time: 00:23 EST/05:23 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Matthew Sabean | ||

Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) includes the XMLHTTP ActiveX control, which allows web pages rendering in the browser to send or receive XML data via HTTP operations such as POST, GET, and PUT. The control provides security measures designed to restrict web pages so they can only use the control to request data from remote data sources. A flaw exists in how the XMLHTTP control applies IE security zone settings to a redirected data stream returned in response to a request for data from a web site. A vulnerability results because an attacker could seek to exploit this flaw and specify a data source that is on the user’s local system. The attacker could then use this to return information from the local system to the attacker’s web site. A complete list of all Security Bulletins can be found in our Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary List in our Support Section. | ||
