Title: Microsoft Outlook Express for MacOS HTML Attachment Automatic Download Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Outlook Express 5 for MacOS will automatically download attachments to HTML messages, without prompting the user. This weakness does not allow for a means of forcing the user to execute any code, or place files in a specific folder, but could be used in conjunction with other attacks. Also, the default location for downloaded attachments is the desktop, where they are more likely to be seen and executed by the user.
Affected Products:
- Microsoft Outlook Express for MacOS 5.0.0
