| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (971961) for 'Jscript Remote Code Execution Vulnerability' has not been applied. A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the Jscript scripting engine processes scripts in Web pages. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opened a specially crafted file or visited a Web site that is running a specially crafted script. If a user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
* 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.
