CVE-1999-1446

Summary

CVE-1999-1446 refers to a vulnerability in Internet Explorer 3 where the browser fails to properly clear the history of visited URLs. Contrary to user expectations, the browser continues to record URLs in DAT files stored in the Temporary Internet Files and History folders, even after the "Clear History" option is selected. These files are not easily accessible to users due to hidden displays, potentially leading to privacy concerns.
