Internet Explorer 5.x does not warn a user before opening a Microsoft Access database file that is referenced within ActiveX OBJECT tags in an HTML document, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands, aka the "IE Script" vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Internet Explorer flaw could let a malicious web page cause a Microsoft Access database file to open without warning. The reported impact is arbitrary command execution. Business urgency is mainly for legacy systems, archived environments, or kiosks still running Internet Explorer 5.x and Access-era components. Likely exposure is narrow today: legacy endpoints using Internet Explorer 5.x and Microsoft Access 2000-era functionality. Modern browsers are not identified as affected in the supplied sources. Asset inventories should treat old lab, kiosk, virtual desktop, and archived business systems as the main candidates. Prioritize only if the organization still operates legacy Internet Explorer 5.x and Access-era systems. For those systems, treat it as a high-impact legacy remote code execution risk and plan remediation or isolation. Mitigation focus: Review and apply Microsoft MS00-049 guidance for affected legacy systems.; Remove or isolate Internet Explorer 5.x systems from untrusted web content.; Disable unnecessary ActiveX behavior on legacy browsers where feasible..
