CVE-2005-3240

CVE-2005-3240 describes a race condition in Microsoft Internet Explorer that allows user-assisted attackers to overwrite arbitrary files and potentially execute code. This vulnerability requires a user to perform a drag-and-drop action from specific objects, such as files in a folder view, while an attacker predicts the action and refocuses to a malicious window. With a CVSS score of 5.1 (medium severity), it has a network attack vector, high attack complexity, and can lead to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise. There is no known active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion or media coverage surrounding this vulnerability.
