S-357: Vulnerability in Windows Messenger

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in supported versions of Windows Messenger. Scripting of a particular ActiveX control, Messenger.UIAutomation.1, could allow information disclosure from these programs in the context of the logged-on user. The risk is LOW. An attacker could change state, get contact inforamtion, and initiate audio and video chat sessions without the knowledge of the logged-on user. An attacker could also capture the user's logon ID and remotely log on to the user's Messenger client as that user.
