CVE-2000-0400
The Microsoft Active Movie ActiveX Control in Internet Explorer 5 does not restrict which file types can be downloaded, which allows an attacker to download any type of file to a user's system by encoding it within an email message or news post.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.40%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
