Vulnerability detected in Internet Explorer that could allow exploitation of a user´s PC
Excerpt:
A vulnerability in Microsoft's Internet Explorer has been detected that could allow infected URLs to be accessed.
A vulnerability researcher working at CoreLabs, the research arm of Core Security Technologies, discovered that when affected versions of Internet Explorer are used to access an external website the browser may not apply the appropriate security permissions and allow unknown sites or applications to be treated as trusted URLs.
CoreLabs claimed that this could potentially lead to malicious or infected URLs remotely executing scripts on systems running the affected versions of IE, via either drive-by or downloaded attacks, without the end user's knowledge or permission to do so.
