CVE Catalog

CVE-2000-0746

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Vulnerabilities in IIS 4.0 and 5.0 do not properly protect against cross-site scripting (CSS) attacks. They allow a malicious web site operator to embed scripts in a link to a trusted site, which are returned without quoting in an error message back to the client.

Risk Assessment

The client then executes those scripts in the same context as the trusted site, which can lead to data theft or session hijacking.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of IIS that includes security patches and to implement additional protection mechanisms against CSS attacks.
