ASP.NET daily. Or weekly.

ASP.NET Forms vulnerability does not only affect Forms Authentication!

It gets worse and worse: As Lorenzo Barbieri states in is weblog (http://weblogs.asp.net/lbarbieri/archive/2004/10/02/237049.aspx), the \- and %5c-vulnerability does not only affect Forms Authentication: It also affects Windows Authentication!

If you secure a path - say: http://localhost/site/secure/default.aspx - and the client (=browser) tries to access the resource using Backslashes or (even worse) the hexadecimal representation (http://localhost/site/secure\default.aspx or http://localhost/site/secure%5cdefault.aspx or a mixture of it: http://localhost/site/secure\%5cdefault.aspx), IIS does not reject the request, but allows you to enter the resource without any authentication. This affects every pre-Windows 2003 system without URLScan and / or IIS Lockdown tool.

To protect yourself from this type of vulnerability, install URLScan and execute IIS Lockdown tool!

"IIS does not reject the request"
It's not IIS, it's the URLAuthorizationModule of ASP.NET...
