    I just checked in IE6 and it looks like the "medium" security level is
    the default setting for the Intranet zone. This is the same default as
    the Internet zone. Seems to me that if IE4 and IE5 have the same
    default, then this bug is not going to affect very many people. I
    suspect that most folks don't change the settings on the Intranet zone.

    An interesting discovery nevertheless.

    Risk: POTENTIALLY HIGH.
    Potentially allowing any possible action on the client machine,
    including
    reading any file, placing Trojan code or altering data.
    The risk depends on the security settings in the 'Intranet zone'.
