CVE-2010-1489: Microsoft Internet Explorer

Medium severity, CVSS 4.3. EPSS: 14.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The XSS Filter in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 does not properly perform neutering for the SCRIPT tag, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against web sites that have no inherent XSS vulnerabilities, a different issue than CVE-2009-4074.
