MacOS 9.2, Internet Explorer, Local Vulnerability

[Neeko Oni <neeko () haackey com>]

Vulnerability:
        Access controls can be evaded on MacOS9.2 using Internet Explorer,
        allowing users to execute programs they otherwise would not be
        able to run.

Details:
        While in the college media lab I attempted to run MacSSH to get
        onto my home desktop, I received an error message telling me I
        did not have access to run said program.  By launching Internet
        Explorer 5 Macintosh Edition, and creating a 'ssh' helper application
        (with MacSSH as the helper application), I was able to execute MacSSH
        without problem. I was logged in under a general student account 
        (not Admin).  This has been tested with applications other than MacSSH.

Tested System:  MacOS9.2.1 on an iMac with Internet Explorer.

        If this is a known vulnerability, I apologize for the wasted bandwidth.
        It's dead simple, but could be used maliciously, quite obviously.
