SV-25642r1_rule The Navigate windows and frames across different domains are not set properly for the Restricted Sites Zone.

Vulnerability discussion

Frames that navigate across different domains are a security concern, because users may think they are accessing pages on one site while they are actually accessing pages on another site.

Fix text

The policy value for Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Internet Explorer -> Internet Control Panel -> Security Page -> Restricted Sites Zone -> "Navigate windows and frames across different domains" will be set to “Enabled” and "Disable". Change the registry key HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Zones\4 Criteria: Set the value 1607 to REG_DWORD = 3 (Disabled = 3).

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
