Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, and 6 allows remote attackers to spoof a less restrictive security zone and execute arbitrary code via an HTML page containing URLs that contain hostnames that have been double hex encoded, which are decoded twice to generate a malicious hostname, aka the "URL Decoding Zone Spoofing Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Internet Explorer flaw that could let a malicious web page trick the browser into treating unsafe content as more trusted. If an organization still has Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, or 6 in use, the business risk is remote code execution on those legacy endpoints. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, or 6. Modern environments should treat this as an asset discovery and legacy retirement issue unless old Windows or embedded systems remain in production. Prioritize urgently only if legacy Internet Explorer remains in business use. For most modern environments, this is a legacy exposure validation task, not a broad current emergency. Mitigation focus: Apply Microsoft guidance and updates associated with MS05-014.; Retire or isolate systems requiring Internet Explorer 5.01, 5.5, or 6.; Block legacy IE from general internet browsing where removal is not immediate..
