Re: Major Internet Explorer Vulnerability - NOT Patched

[Zaakiy Siddiqui <zaakiy () nticon com au>]

Hi David,

Nice one…great find!  And thanks Joey for confirming the bypass of HTTP-to-HTTPS restrictions.

I can confirm that this also affects Spartan Browser (Experimental enabled in about:flags in Internet Explorer 11).

I can also confirm that IE 10 is affected.

IE 9 appears to not be vulnerable. Screenshots below.

Regards,
Zaakiy Siddiqui


IE 11 Spartan - vulnerable (Windows 10)
