Title: Microsoft Internet Explorer Window Location Cross-Domain Information Disclosure Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a cross-domain information-disclosure vulnerability.
The vulnerability occurs because it is possible to persist script across navigations. As a result, a malicious page may gain access to the 'window.location' property of a web page in another domain or Internet Explorer zone.
This vulnerability may let a malicious site access properties of a site in an arbitrary external domain. Attackers could exploit this to gain access to sensitive information that is associated with the external domain. Other attacks may be possible, such as executing script code in other browser security zones.
