This signature detects Web pages containing dangerous scripting functions. A malicious Web site can exploit a known vulnerability in Internet Explorer to gain information about the victim, which could lead to a more elaborate attack vector.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a cross-domain information-disclosure vulnerability because the application fails to properly enforce the same-origin policy. An attacker can exploit this issue to access local files or content from a browser window in another domain or security zone. This may allow the attacker to obtain sensitive information or may aid in further attacks.
