Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-060): Patch Available for "IIS Cross-Site Scripting" Vulnerabilities.Read more Issue ===== On February 20, 2000, Microsoft and CERT (www.cert.org) published information on a newly-identified security vulnerability affected all web server products. This vulnerability, known as Cross-Site Scripting (CSS), results when web applications don't properly validate inputs before using them in dynamic web pages. If a malicious web site operator were able to lure a user to his site, and had identified a third-party web site that was vulnerable to CSS, he could potentially use the vulnerability to "inject" script into a web page created by the other web site, which would then be delivered to the user. The net effect would be to cause the malicious user's script to run on the user's machine using the trust afforded the other site. More information about this subject can be found here: Prevent Cross-Site Scripting Security Issues Cross Site Scripting IIS 5.0 cross site scripting vulnerability Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS00-061) Microsoft has released a patch that eliminates a security vulnerability in Microsoft(r) Money.
