312446 2005-01-12 06:26:00 Read it.

In fact, I tested the exploit out myself. It is pure evil.

Basicly, the script I made (very easily :o) opens calculator as soon as the page is opened, without any warning. Not even little yellow "potentially unsafe" crap, nothing.

Wouldn't have to be calculator - in fact any command line is possible.

Nor does it have to reside on your PC I have found. By that I mean:

\\[evil persons ip address]\somevirus.exe

Was 100% possible. This is the worst vulnerability I have ever seen.

i wouldent mind seeing that
it realy does sound evil

312449 2005-01-12 06:45:00 I have actively converted friends and family to Firefox but many only after talking till I'm blue in the face. People think that as IE is part of the system, it's gospel. Derr KiwiLinc (6595)

312451 2005-01-12 07:17:00 I didn't find it hard to convert people.

I just hid IE and installed Firefox when I last reinstalled Windows.
