MS15-118 Security Update for .NET Framework to Address Elevation of Privilege (3104507) Microsoft .NET Important 11-11-2015

Technical Information

Brief overview of the risk:
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft .NET Framework. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow elevation of privilege if an attacker convinces a user to navigate to a compromised website or open a link in a specially crafted email that is designed to inject client-side code into the userÆs browser.

Detailed Information on the risk:

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when ASP.NET improperly validates values in HTTP requests, exposing users to a potential cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could leverage a vulnerable website to inject client-side script into a userÆs browser and ultimately modify or spoof content, conduct phishing activities, disclose information, or perform any action on the vulnerable website that the target user has permission to perform.
