This information could be exploited to gain unauthorized access or perform further attacks. The vulnerability is significant as IIS is widely used for hosting websites and applications, increasing the potential attack surface for this issue. Attackers can easily exploit this by crafting specially crafted HTTP requests to the target server, potentially leading to serious security consequences. Organizations running IIS 4.0 should apply the available patch as soon as possible to mitigate this risk.
