Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 embeds FTP credentials in HTML files that are retrieved during an FTP session, which allows context-dependent attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading the HTML source, as demonstrated by a (1) .htm, (2) .html, or (3) .mht file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Internet Explorer 6 and 7 could place FTP credentials inside HTML-related files retrieved during an FTP session. If someone can read the affected file source, they may recover those credentials. The issue is serious for legacy environments but source evidence does not provide a CVSS score, patch status, or active exploitation claim. Likely exposure is limited to legacy systems still using Internet Explorer 6 or 7 for FTP workflows, especially where retrieved HTML/MHT files are stored, shared, indexed, or backed up. Treat this as a legacy credential-exposure risk. Prioritize if the organization still has old IE-based FTP workflows or retained web files from those workflows. Otherwise, document it as a historical exposure check. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining Internet Explorer 6 or 7 FTP usage.; Stop using IE 6 or 7 for authenticated FTP workflows.; Check Microsoft or vendor guidance for historical fixes or configuration advice..
