IE7 had a vulnerability and researchers in China admitted to have released a code to exploit it, by mistake. The code had already been available before it was released and had a price tag of around $15,000. The flaw makes XP and Vista users vulnerable to Trojans and various other malware. The release had been made when KnownSec didn’t notice Microsoft’s failure to fix the issue.
