Cross-site scripting (XSS) in Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0, possibly in a component that is also used by other Microsoft products, allows remote attackers to insert arbitrary web script via an XML file that contains a parse error, which inserts the script in the resulting error message.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE describes a browser-based cross-site scripting issue in Internet Explorer 5.5 and 6.0. A malicious or attacker-controlled XML file with a parsing error could cause script to appear in the browser’s error output. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still running legacy Microsoft browser components. Exposure appears limited to legacy environments using Internet Explorer 5.5, Internet Explorer 6.0, or products embedding the same Microsoft XML/browser component. Modern managed desktops are unlikely to be exposed unless old systems remain for compatibility or operational technology workflows. Prioritize this as a legacy-technology exposure review, not a broad emergency. If IE 5.5 or 6.0 is still present, remediation should be scheduled urgently because the affected software is obsolete and difficult to defend reliably. Mitigation focus: Inventory any remaining Internet Explorer 5.5 or 6.0 usage.; Retire legacy IE use where business processes still depend on it.; Check Microsoft or vendor historical guidance for specific fixes or workarounds..
