Microsoft Internet Explorer allows a remote attacker to save a file to a target location on the victim's system, without a confirmation dialog box. The issue is due to inproper validation of specific Dynamic HTML (DHTML) functions that control mouse and window movement. If an attacker creates a specially crafted URL link, it can be configured to download and save an arbitrary file on the victim system without any warning or confirmation.
