Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5 and 6.0 does not properly check parameters that are passed during third party rendering, which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary web script, aka the "Third Party Plugin Rendering" vulnerability, a different vulnerability than CVE-2003-0233.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2003-0115 is an old Internet Explorer flaw where IE 5.01, 5.5, and 6.0 mishandled parameters during third-party rendering. A remote attacker could cause arbitrary web script execution. Modern exposure should be limited to legacy systems still running these obsolete browsers. Exposure is most likely in legacy Windows environments, kiosks, embedded systems, or business applications that still require Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, or 6.0. Treat this as a legacy-risk cleanup item unless affected browsers remain in production. If they do, prioritize isolation or remediation because obsolete browsers create broad exposure beyond this single CVE. Mitigation focus: Review and apply Microsoft MS03-015 guidance for affected Internet Explorer deployments.; Retire or isolate systems that still depend on Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, or 6.0.; Restrict legacy browsers from accessing untrusted websites or external email links..
