Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Vulnerability exists in the scripting engine's handling of objects in memory in Internet Explorer; monitor for memory corruption triggered by crafted web content or ActiveX controls marked 'safe for initialization' embedded in Office documents or applications hosting the IE rendering engine. ↗
- →Attack vector includes attacker-hosted specially crafted websites delivered via Internet Explorer; also watch for ActiveX controls marked 'safe for initialization' in Office documents or apps hosting the IE rendering engine as a delivery mechanism. ↗
- →Also monitor compromised websites and sites hosting user-provided content or advertisements as potential delivery vectors for this scripting engine exploit. ↗
- ·CVE-2016-3199 affects the scripting engine in Internet Explorer (not Edge), despite the MSRC page listing Microsoft Edge (HTML-based) as an affected product. CVE-2016-3214 is a distinct but related Chakra engine vulnerability in Microsoft Edge. ↗
- ·Exploit status at time of disclosure: not publicly disclosed and not exploited in the wild, but rated 'Exploitation More Likely' for the latest software release. ↗

CVE-2016-3199 [HIGH] Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could take control of an affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted websi
