Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and possibly others allows remote attackers to upload arbitrary file contents when users press a key corresponding to the JavaScript (1) event.ctrlKey or (2) event.shiftKey onkeydown event contained in a webpage. NOTE: it was reported that the vendor has disputed the severity of this issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2002-2311 describes a reported Internet Explorer 6 issue where a malicious web page could cause arbitrary file content to be uploaded when a user presses Ctrl or Shift. It requires user interaction and appears tied to legacy browser use. The record notes Microsoft disputed the severity, so business urgency depends on whether IE 6 remains in your environment. Exposure is most plausible where users still operate Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 to access untrusted or attacker-controlled web pages. The phrase “possibly others” is not clarified in the sources. Environments without IE 6 or comparable legacy IE usage are likely less exposed, but the source bundle does not provide definitive product scope. Treat this as a legacy technology risk, not a current emergency unless IE 6 remains in use. If present, prioritize containment and retirement planning because unsupported browsers create broader exposure than this single CVE. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Internet Explorer 6.0 or legacy IE dependencies.; Restrict legacy IE browsing to trusted internal sites where removal is not immediate.; Check Microsoft or vendor guidance for any historical advisory or supported remediation..
