Arbitrary Script Execution Vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.x and 6

CVE-2002-0269 · HIGH Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Internet Explorer 5.x and 6 interprets an object as an HTML document even when its MIME Content-Type is text/plain, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in documents that the user does not expect, possibly through web applications that use a text/plain type to prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
