Directory Traversal Vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer

CVE-2003-0513 · HIGH Severity

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

Microsoft Internet Explorer allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Internet Explorer to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.
