Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, when DNS resolution is enabled for client IP addresses, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary text into log files via an HTTP request in conjunction with a crafted DNS response, as demonstrated by injecting XSS sequences, related to an "Inverse Lookup Log Corruption (ILLC)" issue.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old IIS 6.0 logging issue. If IIS resolves client IP addresses to DNS names, an attacker controlling DNS responses may cause arbitrary text to appear in web logs, including XSS-like strings. The business risk is mainly log integrity and unsafe log viewing, not direct server takeover based on the provided sources. Exposure appears limited to IIS 6.0 deployments with DNS resolution enabled for client IP logging, especially where administrators or log-analysis tools render logs in a browser or trusted interface. Prioritize if legacy IIS 6.0 is still internet-facing or feeds dashboards used by administrators. Otherwise, handle through legacy platform retirement and log-hardening work. Mitigation focus: Check current Microsoft or IIS guidance for supported fixes or configuration changes.; Identify IIS 6.0 systems with client IP DNS resolution enabled.; Disable reverse DNS logging if it is not operationally required..
