SQLXML HTTP Components Script Injection Vulnerability
SQLXML is a component of SQL Server 2000, which enables SQL servers to receive and send database queries via XML (Extensible Markup Language) format. Such queries can be sent using various methods of communication, one of which is via HTTP. SQLXML HTTP components reside in a virtual directory on a web server and are not enabled by default. It is possible, under some circumstances, to inject arbitrary script code via XML tags. This may allow an attacker to execute script code in the context of the Internet Explorer Security Zone associated with the IIS server running the vulnerable components.
Mitigation:
Ensure that the SQLXML HTTP components are not enabled on the IIS server, or that the virtual directory is not accessible from the Internet.
