The XSS Filter in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 does not properly perform neutering for the SCRIPT tag, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against web sites that have no inherent XSS vulnerabilities, a different issue than CVE-2009-4074.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2010-1489 concerns Microsoft Internet Explorer 8's built-in XSS Filter. Instead of only blocking malicious script injection, the filter could mishandle SCRIPT tag neutralization and enable cross-site scripting against websites that were otherwise not vulnerable. Exposure appears limited to users or business workflows that still depend on Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 with the XSS Filter behavior described. The source bundle does not identify other affected products or versions. Treat this as a legacy browser risk. It is not KEV-listed in the supplied bundle, but any remaining IE8 dependency can create avoidable web-session and data exposure risk. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft guidance for IE XSS Filter handling.; Check vendor advisories for supported remediation or configuration guidance.; Identify any remaining Internet Explorer 8 usage in the environment..
