Cross-zone scripting vulnerability in the Internet Explorer web control in Skype 3.6.0.244, and earlier 3.5.x and 3.6.x versions, on Windows allows user-assisted remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML in the Local Machine Zone via the Title field of a (1) Dailymotion and possibly (2) Metacafe movie in the Skype video gallery, accessible through a search within the "Add video to chat" dialog, aka "videomood XSS."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old Skype for Windows issue where malicious video-gallery content could make Skype run web script in a more trusted Windows/Internet Explorer security zone. It required user interaction through the “Add video to chat” flow. The main business concern is legacy Skype installations, not current supported clients. Exposure is likely limited to Windows systems still running Skype 3.5.x or 3.6.x, especially 3.6.0.244 or earlier, with users able to access the Skype video gallery. Modern Skype deployments are not identified as affected in the provided sources. Treat this as a legacy-software cleanup item unless affected Skype versions are still present. If found, prioritize removal or upgrade because the issue crossed browser security zones and could undermine endpoint trust boundaries. Mitigation focus: Identify and remove Skype 3.5.x and 3.6.x on Windows.; Follow Skype SB-2008-001 and update1 vendor guidance.; Upgrade affected clients to a supported Skype version..
