| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS06-044, KB917008) for 'Vulnerability in Microsoft Management Console' has not been applied. Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is an application that allows a user to perform administrative tasks. HTML files in the MMC library can be directly referenced by Internet Explorer. Microsoft Windows 2000 Management Console (MMC) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper restrictions on certain embedded resource files used by the Microsoft Management Console library. By convincing a user to view a specially crafted HTML document (e.g., a web page, an HTML e-mail message, or an e-mail attachment), an attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user.
* Note: This check requires an account with Guest or upper privileges which can access the registry of the remote host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
