The embedded Internet Explorer server control in AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) 6.5.3.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified web script or HTML in an instant message, related to AIM's filtering of "specific tags and attributes" and the lack of Local Machine Zone lockdown. NOTE: this issue reportedly exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2007-4901.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2007-5124 is a legacy AOL Instant Messenger issue where a crafted instant message could make AIM run attacker-controlled code through its embedded Internet Explorer control. The business risk is mainly to organizations with old AIM clients still present on endpoints. Exposure appears limited to systems running AOL Instant Messenger 6.5.3.12 or earlier. The source bundle does not identify affected CPEs, supported platforms, or whether later versions fully resolved the issue. Treat this as high priority only if legacy AIM exists in the environment. If AIM is absent, residual business risk is low and can be closed through inventory evidence. Mitigation focus: Check vendor guidance or archived advisories for the official fix path.; Remove or replace AIM 6.5.3.12 and earlier where found.; Block use of legacy AIM clients in managed environments..
