A bug in internet explorer filters what users write

Internet Explorer has long ceased to be the most widely used browser. And it has become the most hated by many users, although many do not understand it. But the reality is that its market share continues to decline. And now, the browser has another problem. A bug has been detected whereby what the user is typing in their address bar can be detected.

It can be new URLs that the user wants to access. Although, also search terms that Internet Explorer handles automatically through Bing. This error can be especially serious for users who copy and paste Intranet pages into the browser.

This ruling poses a great risk to the privacy of users. Since these data could be used for collection. But, also for possible attacks. The error occurs when the browser loads a page with a malicious HTML object tag. Also when you present the compatibility tag metae in the source code. And these are two easy conditions to meet.

• First condition: Attackers hide malicious HTML object tags on infected sites. Or they load it through ads that allow you to load custom HTML or JavaScript code. Second condition: X-UA-Compatible is a document mode meta tag. Allows web authors to choose the version of Internet Explorer to be displayed on the web. The absolute majority of websites have a meta tag of compatibility.

This means that the malicious object HTML tag can be loaded and hidden within a page. In addition, you will have access to the information previously available in the main Internet Explorer window. At the moment it is not known if this problem has been solved. We hope to know more about it soon.
