CVE-2004-0727

49
FAUCET Score

CVE-2004-0727 describes a critical cross-domain vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0.2800.1106 on Windows XP SP2, allowing remote web servers to bypass zone restrictions. This flaw enables attackers to execute arbitrary code within the local computer zone by redirecting similarly named functions. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P), it indicates a network-exploitable vulnerability with low attack complexity and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not listed in CISA KEV and lacking Metasploit/Nuclei modules, an ExploitDB entry (EDB-24265) suggests public exploit code exists, though community discussion and media coverage are minimal.
