Microsoft Corp. is investigating a reported security flaw in its
ASP.NET technology that could allow intruders to access
password-protected sections of a Web site simply by altering a URL.

The hole involves a glitch in ASP.NET's processing of URLs, a process
known as canonicalization. According to an advisory posted Tuesday on
Microsoft's Web site, "an attacker can send specially crafted requests
to the server and view secured content without providing the proper
credentials."

ASP.NET, the latest iteration of Microsoft's ASP (Active Server Pages)
technology, is a Web development platform for building Web-centric
applications.
