CVE-2004-2475 EXPLOIT
4.3
MEDIUM · CVSS 2.0 · EPSS 3.2% (pctl 88)
Patch early
A public exploit exists.
Description
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Google Toolbar 2.0.114.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script via about.html in the About section. NOTE: some followup posts suggest that the demonstration code's use of the res:// protocol does not cross privilege boundaries, since it is not allowed in the Internet Zone. Thus this might not be a vulnerability.
