CVE-2002-1181: Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the administrative web pages for Microsoft Internet...

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the administrative web pages for Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 through 5.1 allow remote attackers to execute HTML script as other users through (1) a certain ASP file in the IISHELP virtual directory, or (2) possibly other unknown attack vectors.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This older IIS issue lets an attacker make administrative web pages run attacker-supplied script in another user's browser. The business risk is mainly legacy exposure: if obsolete IIS 4.0 through 5.1 admin or help pages remain reachable, users with administrative access could be targeted through the browser. Exposure is most likely on legacy Microsoft IIS 4.0, 5.0, or 5.1 systems with administrative web pages or the IISHELP virtual directory accessible to users or networks that an attacker can reach. Treat this as a legacy-system cleanup issue unless affected IIS hosts are still reachable. Prioritize finding and isolating obsolete IIS admin surfaces before broader remediation planning. Mitigation focus: Identify any IIS 4.0 through 5.1 systems still operating.; Review and apply Microsoft MS02-062 guidance for affected systems.; Restrict access to IIS administrative and help virtual directories..
