Advisory Published
Vulnetix · Advisory published February 26, 2003
The Help and Support Center included with Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition and XP does not adequately validate parameters provided in an "hcp://" URI. As a result, an attacker could construct a URI that could cause the Help and Support Center to execute arbitrary script, effectively giving the attacker full control over a vulnerable system.
