CVE-2007-1692

HIGH 7.5EPSS 15.3%

Does this matter?

EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 15.3%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.

Description

The default configuration of Microsoft Windows uses the Web Proxy Autodiscovery Protocol (WPAD) without static WPAD entries, which might allow remote attackers to intercept web traffic by registering a proxy server using WINS or DNS, then responding to WPAD requests, as demonstrated using Internet Explorer. NOTE: it could be argued that if an attacker already has control over WINS/DNS, then web traffic could already be intercepted by modifying WINS or DNS records, so this would not cross privilege boundaries and would not be a vulnerability. It has also been reported that DHCP is an alternate attack vector.
