Overview
A flaw exists in the way by which the Windows Script Engine for JScript processes information. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability by constructing a web page that, when visited by the user, would execute code of the attacker’s choice with user privileges. The web page could be hosted on a web site, or sent directly to the user in email.
