Default Unpatched Security Vulnerability in IE8

After being reported back in October 2013, Microsoft remains idle and no patch has been activated.
Nice support Microsoft.
Users beware!

Windows XP stops at IE8 so I suspect its another way of making you go out and buy Windows 8 so you can have IE11.
