CVE-2006-1626

CVE-2006-1626 describes an address bar spoofing vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 on Windows XP SP2 and earlier.

This medium-complexity attack (CVSS 4.3) primarily impacts integrity, potentially enabling phishing attempts. While no active exploitation is noted, an ExploitDB entry exists, and there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
