IE's default security settings allow a malicious webpage to open a new browser, open another site's main frame in that new browser and then set any subframes to a URL of their choosing. This could lead to misappropriation of private information, among other problems.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the security settings of the browser are set to the highest level.
