CVE-2002-0269 Information

Description

Internet Explorer 5.x and 6 interprets an object as an HTML document even when its MIME Content-Type is text/plain which could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in documents that the user does not expect possibly through web applications that use a text/plain type to prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
