Hadn't seen this on the lists yet: Cannonicalization issue in ASP.NET <snip> Microsoft is currently investigating a reported vulnerability in Microsoft ASP.NET. An attacker can send specially crafted requests to the server and view secured content without providing the proper credentials. This reported vulnerability exists in ASP.NET and does not affect ASP. </snip> http://www.microsoft.com/security/incident/aspnet.mspx Their interim "fix" is to add an event handler to force real path validation for all requests: http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=887459 Which is certainly not a bad idea but methinks another performance/security tradeoff at hand. Thanks for the heads-up Daniel...
