  Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-008: Flaw in Windows Script Engine Could Allow Code Execution (814078)
Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Todd Richardson

A flaw exists in the way by which the Windows Script Engine for JScript processes information. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a web page that, when visited by the user, would execute code of the attacker's choice with the user's privileges. The web page could be hosted on a web site, or sent directly to the user in email.

Although Microsoft has supplied a patch for this vulnerability and recommends all affected customers install the patch immediately, additional preventive measures have been provided that customers can use to help block the exploitation of this vulnerability while they are assessing the impact and compatibility of the patch. These temporary workarounds are discussed in the "Workarounds" section in the Frequently Asked Questions section of the security bulletin for this release.
