There is also bad web design with the mhtml vulnerability with some websites matching the triggering condition.

Subject: Re: [Snort-users] False positive?

Unfortunately I'm not sure what to tell you, that website exactly matches the vulnerability description and testing 
that we have done in house.  Import of the same exact css time after time after time.

@import url("Home/AM-Home.css");@import url("Home/AM-Home.css");@import url("Home/AM-Home.css");
It's not a false positive, as that's the triggering condition for the vulnerability. Poor web design?  Maybe, but there 
is a lot of really interesting code on that page.  Take a look at the source.

It looks to me like a false positive, in that there doesn’t appear to be an exploit, but just poor web design.  Can 
someone with more knowledge of how this vulnerability is exploited take a look and share your thoughts?
