CVE-2003-0814 describes a critical vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6 SP1 and earlier versions, allowing remote attackers to bypass security zone restrictions. By manipulating the window's "href" to malicious Javascript and then using execCommand("Refresh"), attackers could execute arbitrary code, leading to potential compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. With a CVSS score of 7.5, this vulnerability is considered highly severe due to its network-based attack vector and low attack complexity. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion is currently observed, its high FAUCET Risk Score of 93/100 indicates a substantial theoretical risk.
