| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS14-033, 2966061) for 'Vulnerability in Microsoft XML Core Services Could Allow Information Disclosure' has not been applied.
This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability could allow information disclosure if a logged on user visits a specially crafted website that is designed to invoke Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) through Internet Explorer. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to visit such websites. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to visit a website, typically by getting them to click a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger request that takes users to the attacker's website.
- MSXML Entity URI Vulnerability (CVE-2014-1816)
An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft Windows parses XML content. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to access information not otherwise allowed.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
