Descriptions

The default configuration of Microsoft Windows uses the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) without static WPAD entries, which might allow remote attackers to intercept web traffic by registering a proxy server using WINS or DNS, then responding to WPAD requests, as demonstrated using Internet Explorer. NOTE: it could be argued that if an attacker already has control over WINS/DNS, then web traffic could already be intercepted by modifying WINS or DNS records, so this would not cross privilege boundaries and would not be a vulnerability. It has also been reported that DHCP is an alternate attack vector.

La configuración predeterminada de Microsoft Windows usa el Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) sin entradas WPAD estáticas, lo que podría permitir a atacantes remotos interceptar el tráfico web mediante el registro de un servidor proxy usando WINS o DNS y, a continuación, responder a peticiones WPAD, como es demostrado por Internet Explorer. NOTA: se podría argumentar que si un atacante ya tiene control sobre WINS/DNS, entonces el tráfico web ya podría ser interceptado mediante la modificación de registros WINS o DNS, por lo que esto no cruzaría los límites de privilegios y no sería una vulnerabilidad. También se ha reportado que DHCP es un vector de ataque alternativo.
