CVE-2007-4960

Status: ModifiedMedium (5)—

Argument injection vulnerability in the Linden Lab Second Life secondlife:// protocol handler, as used in Internet Explorer and possibly Firefox, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a '" ' (double-quote space) sequence followed by the -autologin and -loginuri arguments, which cause the handler to post login credentials and software installation details to an arbitrary URL.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
