It's used by some Magento modules like Authorizenet as a fallback page for iframes. Other uses I have't found for it yet.

The actual URL will be set with javascript most likely, the blank html page is just to give it something to initially load.

I am not using Authorizenet module but still receiving traffic on the page. I just want to know, is there any known vulnerability issue related this file? – Sandesh Sep 30 '15 at 12:02

I'd probably say not but that depends on the amount of traffic. It shouldn't be insanely high. In the end, not a lot can be done with a blank html page – Sander Mangel♦ Sep 30 '15 at 12:03
