CVE-2007-1692 Misconfiguration in n/a

What is CVE-2007-1692?

CVE-2007-1692 is a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 2000, published on 26 Mar 2007. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.

Official 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.

Weakness: CWE-16
