It has been revealed that there is a flaw with the new internet explorer 6 browser. The issue is believed to be concerned with the way the browser deals with cross-site scripting attacks.
The user is left open to attack because the security protections will not function correctly. This is because the code is embedded into a specially crafted HTML document.
Attackers could steal cookies and other security information without the user being made away of these actions.
Experts have said that users should ensure that they update their browser to the latest version to ensure that they avoid any issues. Alternatively, if a user does not want to upgrade their browser than they should ensure they disable scripting so that they are not affected by the flaw.
