CVE-2006-2094: Microsoft Ie

Medium severity, CVSS 5.1. EPSS: 23.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Microsoft Internet Explorer before Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1, when Prompt is configured in Security Settings, uses modal dialogs to verify that a user wishes to run an ActiveX control or perform other risky actions, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to construct a race condition that tricks a user into clicking an object or pressing keys that are actually applied to a "Yes" approval for executing the control.

Affected products

• Microsoft Ie: version 5 only; version 5.0 only; version 5.0.1 only; version 6.0 only
• Microsoft Internet Explorer: version 5.0 only; version 5.0.1 only; version 5.5 only; version 6.0 only; version 7.0 only
