CVE-2007-1499 is a spoofing flaw in Microsoft Internet Explorer, primarily affecting Internet Explorer 7. The issue is triggered when IE processes a crafted res: URI targeting navcancl.htm, the internal "Navigation Canceled" page, with an attacker-controlled URL argument. According to the provided content, Internet Explorer incorrectly allows modification of the navigation canceled page: the attacker-supplied URL is displayed in the location bar on the "Navigation Canceled" page, and script can be injected into the "Refresh the page" link. This allows attacker-controlled content to be rendered in a trusted-looking browser context and can facilitate phishing. The original description also notes possible arbitrary code execution, but the supporting bulletin content consistently characterizes this CVE as a spoofing vulnerability and states the fix was to prevent script-based modification of the page.
