Descriptions
Windows MSHTML Platform Spoofing Vulnerability
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of Microsoft Windows. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the way Internet Explorer prompts the user after a file is downloaded. A crafted file name can cause the true file extension to be hidden, misleading the user into believing that the file type is harmless. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current user.
Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform contains a user interface (UI) misrepresentation of critical information vulnerability that allows an attacker to spoof a web page. This vulnerability was exploited in conjunction with CVE-2024-38112.
