CVE-2006-0799: Microsoft Internet Explorer

Medium severity, CVSS 4.0. EPSS: 7.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to spoof a legitimate URL in the status bar and conduct a phishing attack via a web page with an anchor element with a legitimate "href" attribute, a form whose action points to a malicious URL, and an INPUT submit element that is modified to look like a legitimate URL. NOTE: this issue is very similar to CVE-2004-1104, although the manipulations are slightly different.

Affected products

• Microsoft Internet Explorer: version 6.0.2900 only
