CVE-2000-0126 describes a directory traversal vulnerability in sample Internet Data Query (IDQ) scripts within Microsoft IIS versions 3 and 4. This flaw allows unauthenticated remote attackers to read arbitrary files on the server by using "dot dot" (..) sequences in their requests. Rated with a CVSS score of 5.0 (Medium), the attack is network-based and low complexity, leading to a potential compromise of confidentiality. While there is no evidence of active exploitation or Metasploit modules, an ExploitDB entry exists, and its high EPSS and FAUCET Risk scores indicate a significant potential for impact despite limited community discussion or media coverage.
