Summary
The rendering engine in Internet Explorer determines the MIME type independently of the type that is specified by the server, which allows remote servers to automatically execute script which is placed in a file whose MIME type does not normally support scripting, such as text (.txt), JPEG (.jpg), etc.
Exploit prediction (EPSS)
5.96% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 93% of all scored CVEs.
