Internet Explorer Command Execution Vulnerability Test

Introduction

Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Internet Explorer, which allows a malicious web site to execute arbitrary commands or install code on your computer without any user interaction.

A demonstration of the vulnerability is available for users running Internet Explorer 6 with Windows XP SP2 installed.

Test Case / Demonstration

Click the link below in order to test whether or not your system is vulnerable. This test is designed to work on Internet Explorer 6 with Windows XP SP2 installed.

Test Your System
Test Now - Left Click On This Link

Please note: If you wish to run the test multiple times, then please refresh this page before each test. The test requires that you have Windows installed in "c:/windows/".


What Happens When You Run The Test
When clicking the link above the exploit will be invoked. The exploit will launch "cmd.exe" (Command Prompt), which then will open a Secunia web page using "iexplore.exe" (Internet Explorer).

This test asks you to click a link before the exploit will run, this however, is not required for the vulnerability to work. The vulnerability can be exploited completely automatically by simply visiting a web site.


Result
You are vulnerable if a new Internet Explorer window opens, displaying a new Secunia web page.
