CVE-2006-0187: Microsoft Visual Studio .net

Medium severity, CVSS 5.1. EPSS: 19.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

By design, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 automatically executes code in the Load event of a user-defined control (UserControl1_Load function), which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking the user into opening a malicious Visual Studio project file.

Affected products

• Microsoft Visual Studio .net: version 2005 only
