Microsoft and Andreas suggest the following workarounds: >2. disable "allow paste operations via script" (best) >3. disable active scripting Using these workarounds is currently futile for users with Office installed. The clipboard text can be set regardless of configuration as we've shown in GM#007-IE, and disabling scripting can be easily circumvented as we've shown in GM#005-IE. These vulnerabilities have been disclosed 3.5 months ago and still haven't been patched.
