Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Look for Proxy object wrapping eval in JavaScript — this is the type confusion trigger for CVE-2016-7240 in Microsoft Edge's Chakra engine ↗
- →Vulnerability is in the scripting engine's handling of objects in memory in Internet Explorer / Microsoft Edge; monitor for memory corruption events triggered by crafted web content or ActiveX controls marked 'safe for initialization' ↗
- →Attacker delivery vector includes compromised websites, user-provided content/advertisements, and Office documents hosting the IE rendering engine — monitor for IE/Edge process spawning child processes after visiting untrusted sites ↗
- ·CVE-2016-7240 affects Internet Explorer's scripting engine (not Edge/Chakra directly), despite being listed alongside Edge Chakra CVEs in the same bulletin; ensure detection scope covers iexplore.exe, not only msedge.exe ↗
- ·The public exploit (Exploit-DB 40773) is titled 'Microsoft Edge - eval Type Confusion' and references CVE-2016-7240 alongside CVE-2016-7243; verify which CVE the Proxy/eval PoC specifically triggers before using it as a definitive CVE-2016-7240 indicator ↗
- ·Patch KB3200970 and KB3198586 are the remediation references; absence of these KBs indicates a vulnerable host ↗

CVE-2016-7240 [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
