- →The exploit payload is delivered over HTTP to the client (browser). Network detection should inspect HTTP response bodies (file.data) for the characteristic JavaScript patterns used in the OP_Memset type confusion exploit.
- →The vulnerability is triggered via a specially crafted website or compromised site hosting malicious JavaScript targeting Microsoft Edge's Chakra JIT engine (OP_Memset type confusion). Social engineering is required to lure the user to the page. ↗
- →The exploit abuses ChakraCore's JIT compiler via OP_Memset type confusion. Monitor for Edge/ChakraCore processes spawning unexpected child processes or exhibiting anomalous memory behavior following JavaScript execution. ↗
- →A public proof-of-concept exploit exists (Exploit-DB 43154 and theori-io/pwnjs). Treat any network traffic matching the Snort SID 2024993 signature as high-confidence exploitation attempt.
- ·The Snort rule uses 'file.data' for HTTP response body inspection and a PCRE with relative matching (/R flag). Ensure your IDS/IPS is configured to perform full HTTP response body reassembly and supports PCRE relative matching, otherwise the rule will not fire correctly.
- ·The rule metadata flags 'performance_impact Significant' — enabling this rule at perimeter scale may introduce latency. Tune deployment accordingly.
- ·Microsoft's exploit status notes 'Latest Software Release: Exploitation More Likely' — prioritize patching to ChakraCore v1.7.4 or applying KB4048954/KB4048952/KB4048953/KB4048955 as applicable. ↗

ChakraCore and Microsoft Edge in Windows 10 1709 and Windows Server, version 1709 allows an attacker to gain the same user rights as the current user, due to how the scripting engine handles objects in memory, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability". Individual Export in module exports was not taking care of destructuring nodes, leading to type confusion. This was fixed by adding support for walking those nodes.

CVE-2017-11873 [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 Microsoft Edge (HTML-based). 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 cra

[HIGH] November Patch Tuesday: 53 Vulnerabilities and a Massive Adobe Update
This November Patch Tuesday is moderate in volume and severity. Microsoft released patches to address 53 unique vulnerabilities, with 25 focused on Remote Code Execution fixes. Windows OS receives 14 patches, while the lion’s share is focused on Browsers, Microsoft Office, and Adobe. According to Microsoft, there do not appear to be any actively attacked vulnerabilities in the wild in this patch release.
Interestingly enough, none of the Windows OS patches are listed as Critical this month, but we do recommend focusing on CVE-2017-11830 and CVE-2017-11847 , as they address a Security Feature Bypass, and a Privilege Elevation respectively.
It should also be noted that CVE-2017-11848 , CVE-2017-11827 , CVE-2017-11883 , CVE-2017-8700 have public exploits, but they do not appear to be used i
