Internet Explorer 6.0, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to bypass the same origin security policy and make requests outside of the intended domain by calling open on an XMLHttpRequest object (Microsoft.XMLHTTP) and using tab, newline, and carriage return characters within the first argument (method name), which is supported by some proxy servers that convert tabs to spaces. NOTE: this issue can be leveraged to conduct referer spoofing, HTTP Request Smuggling, and other attacks.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Internet Explorer issue where a web page could make browser requests outside the intended web origin boundary. The sources describe possible referer spoofing, HTTP request smuggling, and related abuse, but provide no CVSS score, KEV listing, or confirmed active exploitation. Most modern environments are unlikely to be exposed unless they still allow Internet Explorer 6 or similar legacy IE components with proxy infrastructure matching the described behavior. Treat this as a legacy exposure issue. Prioritize confirmation that obsolete IE clients are gone, especially in regulated, kiosk, industrial, or inherited environments. Mitigation focus: Retire Internet Explorer 6 and unsupported IE versions from enterprise environments.; Require supported modern browsers for internal and external web applications.; Review proxy configurations for unsafe HTTP request normalization behavior..
