Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Google Toolbar 2.0.114.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script via about.html in the About section. NOTE: some followup posts suggest that the demonstration code's use of the res:// protocol does not cross privilege boundaries, since it is not allowed in the Internet Zone. Thus this might not be a vulnerability.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2004-2475 is an old, disputed report about script injection in the About section of Google Toolbar 2.0.114.1. The record itself notes follow-up discussion questioning whether the proof crossed browser privilege boundaries. Treat it as a legacy software hygiene issue, not a confirmed modern emergency. Exposure is likely limited to environments still running Google Toolbar 2.0.114.1 or closely related legacy browser setups. Modern managed browsers are unlikely to include this component, but legacy endpoints, lab images, or unmanaged systems may still carry obsolete toolbar software. Low immediate urgency unless the organization still supports legacy Google Toolbar deployments. The practical action is to remove obsolete browser extensions and confirm no unsupported toolbar software remains in managed endpoint images. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Google Toolbar 2.0.114.1 or legacy toolbar installations.; Remove or disable obsolete Google Toolbar installations where found.; Use supported browsers without deprecated toolbar components..
