HAURI ViRobot 2008.12.4.1499 and possibly 2008.9.12.1375, when Internet Explorer 6 or 7 is used, allows remote attackers to bypass detection of malware in an HTML document by placing an MZ header (aka "EXE info") at the beginning, and modifying the filename to have (1) no extension, (2) a .txt extension, or (3) a .jpg extension, as demonstrated by a document containing a CVE-2006-5745 exploit.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy antivirus detection-bypass issue. Certain HAURI ViRobot versions could miss malicious HTML in Internet Explorer 6 or 7 when the file was disguised in specific ways. Business urgency is mainly for organizations still running old endpoint security or legacy browser workflows. Exposure is likely limited to environments using the named HAURI ViRobot versions with Internet Explorer 6 or 7 content handling. Modern browsers, current endpoint security, and retired ViRobot deployments are less likely affected, based only on the supplied sources. Treat this as a legacy-risk cleanup item, not an emergency unless affected products are still present. If any IE6/IE7-dependent systems remain, prioritize modernization because this issue shows attackers could bypass a defensive layer around already-dangerous browser exploits. Mitigation focus: Confirm whether HAURI ViRobot 2008.12.4.1499 or 2008.9.12.1375 remains deployed.; Retire Internet Explorer 6 and 7 from any remaining business workflows.; Check HAURI or successor vendor guidance for updates, signatures, or retirement advice..
