Under the Cached Web Credentials vulnerability, if a user logs onto a secured Web page using Basic Authentication, and subsequently visits a nonsecure page on the same site, Internet Explorer automatically sends the cached credentials, normally a user ID and password, to the nonsecure page. If a malicious user gains control over the other user's network communications, it is possible for the malicious user to read the credentials and use them. This vulnerability does not provide a means by which the malicious user can force another user to log onto a secure page, and can only be used to reveal credentials that had been cached during the current Internet Explorer session. The patch requires IE 5.01 SP1 to install. Customers who install this patch on other versions may receive a message reading "This update does not need to be installed on this system." This message is incorrect. Internet Explorer 5.5 is not affected by this vulnerability.

This update resolves the "Incorrect VBScript Handling in Internet Explorer can Allow Web Pages to Read Local Files" security vulnerability in Internet Explorer, and is discussed in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS02-009. Download now to prevent a malicious user from using an unauthorized Web site to read the contents of files on your local computer. This vulnerability exists because VBScript that is created dynamically in Internet Explorer can result in the script being assigned invalid permissions, which gives the script the ability to read your local files, if the path to the file is known.

This patch addresses vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer that could allow Hackers and con artists to display a fake URL in the address and status bars. The vulnerability is caused due to an input validation error, which can be exploited by including the '%01' and '%00' URL encoded representations after the username and right before the '@' character in an URL. Successful exploitation allows a malicious person to display an arbitrary FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) in the address and status bars, which is different from the actual location of the page. This can be exploited to trick users into divulging sensitive information or download and execute malware on their systems, because they trust the faked domain in the two bars.
