Default Flaw in Internet Explorer 7

A flaw in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 browser could make it possible for important data such as your internet banking details to fall into the wrong hands.

The vulnerability is due to an error in the handling of redirections for URLs. If exploited it could be possible to access documents served from another web site.

Attackers can steal user information that's being entered on a separate website, provided the user is visiting a site exploiting the flaw in another window.

One solution to the flaw is to disable active scripting support.
