Discussion

Microsoft Internet Explorer Cross Zone Local Cookie File Access Security Bypass Vulnerability

Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a cross-zone security-bypass vulnerability because the application fails to properly enforce the same-origin policy for certain local files.

To exploit this issue, an attacker requires both the unsuspecting user's Windows username and the version of Windows the victim is using. Attackers must entice the user to visit a crafted webpage.

An attacker can exploit this issue to bypass the cross-zone interaction policy and obtain sensitive cookie data from local files. Information harvested may aid in further attacks.
