Microsoft Internet Explorer is reported prone to a URI obfuscation weakness. The issue presents itself when a HREF tag contains certain mouse events. This issue may be leveraged by an attacker to display false information in the status bar or URI property dialog of an affected browser, allowing an attacker to present web pages to unsuspecting users that seem to originate from a trusted location. This may facilitate phishing style attacks; other attacks may also be possible.
