CVE-2002-0422 describes an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft IIS versions 5 and 5.1, allowing remote attackers to ascertain the internal IP address of the server. This can occur by sending a PROPFIND HTTP request with a blank Host header, which reveals the IP in the 207 Multi-Status response, or through the WRITE/MKCOL methods, where the IP is leaked in the Location server header. The vulnerability has a low CVSS score of 2.6, indicating a network attack vector with high attack complexity and a partial impact on confidentiality, but no impact on integrity or availability. While not listed in CISA's KEV catalog, Metasploit modules exist for exploiting this vulnerability, though there is no evidence of active exploitation or significant community discussion.
