This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Internet Explorer 7.0 (IE). An attacker can create malicious Web pages containing a spoofed Navigation Cancelled page, which if access by a victim, can redirect users to another page containing malicious code.
Microsoft Internet Explorer is prone to a webpage-spoofing vulnerability. Attackers may exploit this vulnerability via a malicious webpage to spoof the contents of the Navigation canceled page. This may assist in phishing or other attacks that rely on content spoofing. NOTE: This BID is being retired because this issue was previously reported in BID 22966: Microsoft Internet Explorer NavCancel.HTM Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.
