CVE-2004-2475: Google Toolbar

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 3.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Google Toolbar 2.0.114.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script via about.html in the About section. NOTE: some followup posts suggest that the demonstration code's use of the res:// protocol does not cross privilege boundaries, since it is not allowed in the Internet Zone. Thus this might not be a vulnerability.
