IIS has the #exec function enabled for Server Side Include (SSI) files.
In some NT web servers, appending a space at the end of a URL may allow attackers to read source code for active pages.
IIS 1.0 allows users to execute arbitrary commands using .bat or .cmd files.
Buffer overflow in ssinc.dll for Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a web page with a Server Side Include (SSI) directive with a long filename, aka "Server Side Include Web Pages Buffer Overrun."
The "hit-highlighting" functionality in webhits.dll in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Web Server 5.0 only uses Windows NT ACL configuration, which allows remote attackers to bypass NTLM and basic authentication mechanisms and access private web directories via the CiWebhitsfile parameter to null.htw.
Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1 through 6.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted inputs to ASP pages.
Buffer overflow in the ScStoragePathFromUrl function in the WebDAV service in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 in Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long header beginning with "If: <http://" in a PROPFIND request, as exploited in the wild in July or August 2016.
Buffer overflow in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5, when FastCGI is enabled, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted headers in a request, aka "Request Header Buffer Overflow Vulnerability."
Buffer overflow in the FTP Service in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 through 6.0 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted NLST (NAME LIST) command that uses wildcards, leading to memory corruption, aka "IIS FTP Service RCE and DoS Vulnerability."
The URL parser in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.1 on Windows XP Professional SP2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via multiple requests to ".dll" followed by arguments such as "~0" through "~9", which causes ntdll.dll to produce a return value that is not correctly handled by IIS, as demonstrated using "/vtibin/.dll//~0". NOTE: the consequence was originally believed to be only a denial of service (application crash and reboot).
Microsoft IIS 5.0 allows remote attackers to spoof web log entries via an HTTP request that includes hex-encoded newline or form-feed characters.
Variant of the "IIS Cross-Site Scripting" vulnerability as originally discussed in MS:MS00-060 (CVE-2000-0746) allows a malicious web site operator to embed scripts in a link to a trusted site, which are returned without quoting in an error message back to the client. The client then executes those scripts in the same context as the trusted site.
IIS 4.0 and 5.0 .ASP pages send the same Session ID cookie for secure and insecure web sessions, which could allow remote attackers to hijack the secure web session of the user if that user moves to an insecure session, aka the "Session ID Cookie Marking" vulnerability.
IIS 5.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a malformed request for an executable file whose name is appended with operating system commands, aka the "Web Server File Request Parsing" vulnerability.
IIS 4.0 and 5.0 allows remote attackers to read documents outside of the web root, and possibly execute arbitrary commands, via malformed URLs that contain UNICODE encoded characters, aka the "Web Server Folder Traversal" vulnerability.
Vulnerabilities in IIS 4.0 and 5.0 do not properly protect against cross-site scripting (CSS) attacks. They allow a malicious web site operator to embed scripts in a link to a trusted site, which are returned without quoting in an error message back to the client. The client then executes those scripts in the same context as the trusted site, aka the "IIS Cross-Site Scripting" vulnerabilities.
ISM.DLL in IIS 4.0 and 5.0 allows remote attackers to read file contents by requesting the file and appending a large number of encoded spaces (%20) and terminated with a .htr extension, aka the ".HTR File Fragment Reading" or "File Fragment Reading via .HTR" vulnerability.
IIS 4.0 and 5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by sending many URLs with a large number of escaped characters, aka the "Myriad Escaped Characters" Vulnerability.
In IIS, an attacker could determine a real path using a request for a non-existent URL that would be interpreted by Perl (perl.exe).
In IIS and other web servers, an attacker can attack commands as SYSTEM if the server is running as SYSTEM and loading an ISAPI extension.
IIS 3.0 with the iis-fix hotfix installed allows remote intruders to read source code for ASP programs by using a %2e instead of a . (dot) in the URL.
The undocumented TRACK method in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) 5.0 returns the content of the original request in the body of the response, which makes it easier for remote attackers to steal cookies and authentication credentials, or bypass the HttpOnly protection mechanism, by using TRACK to read the contents of the HTTP headers that are returned in the response, a technique that is similar to cross-site tracing (XST) using HTTP TRACE.
Buffer overflow in ASP Server-Side Include Function in IIS 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via long file names.
Buffer overflow in the ASP data transfer mechanism in Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute code, aka "Microsoft-discovered variant of Chunked Encoding buffer overrun."
Buffer overflow in Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, 5.0, and 5.1 allows remote attackers to spoof the safety check for HTTP headers and cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via HTTP header field values.
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script as other users via an HTTP error page.
Buffer overflow in the ism.dll ISAPI extension that implements HTR scripting in Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 and 5.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via HTR requests with long variable names.
Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Help File search facility for Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1 allows remote attackers to embed scripts into another user's session.
Buffer overflow in the chunked encoding transfer mechanism in Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0 and 5.0 Active Server Pages allows attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.
Cross-site scripting vulnerability for Internet Information Server (IIS) 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script as other web users via the error message used in a URL redirect (""302 Object Moved") message.
