Well, I would think you could call different command line scripts, not sure of Outlook/OE, or any other e-mail application supports sending e-mail from a command line. It relates to Exchange because 98% of viruses are propagated by e-mail.

The HTML is calling a local program. For this exploit to work there has to be either a) a downloaded piece of malware to be called in this fashion or b) the called program has to accept command-line strings. For (a), there should be none on your Exchange server just by following normal security guidelines (i.e. don't log onto the console just for the heck of it, browse from a workstation not a server, etc). For (b) this is a bit easier but, again, why are you browsing from a server? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Williams Scott CTR" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Exchange Discussions" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2002 11:32 AM Subject: Exchange nightmares > > TECH BRIEFING > > > Want To See Something Scary? > > I thought you might be interested in trying this and then see your > hair stand out.
