The HTML Help facility in Microsoft Windows 98, 98 Second Edition, Millennium Edition, NT 4.0, NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition, Windows 2000, and Windows XP uses the Local Computer Security Zone when opening .chm files from the Temporary Internet Files folder, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via HTML mail that references or inserts a malicious .chm file containing shortcuts that can be executed, aka "Code Execution via Compiled HTML Help File."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy Microsoft Windows issue in HTML Help. On affected Windows 98, ME, NT 4.0, Windows 2000, and Windows XP systems, hostile HTML email could abuse .chm handling from Temporary Internet Files to run code. It matters mainly where obsolete Windows desktops or terminal servers still exist. Exposure is most likely in legacy environments still running the named Windows versions or preserving old virtual desktops, terminal servers, or kiosk systems with HTML email handling enabled. Treat this as high priority only if affected legacy Windows systems remain in service. For modern Windows fleets, urgency is mainly governance: prove the obsolete systems are gone or isolated. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining affected legacy Windows systems.; Review and apply Microsoft MS02-055 vendor guidance.; Restrict or retire HTML email handling on legacy hosts..
