Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Trigger condition: JavaScript catch block using destructuring pattern parameter (knopParamPattern) combined with a var declaration of the same name inside the catch block — exploits missing SetIsCatch() call in Chakra's PreVisitCatch, causing uninitialized stack value reference. ↗
- →Vulnerable component is Microsoft Edge's Chakra JavaScript engine PreVisitCatch function — look for Edge processes (MicrosoftEdge.exe / chakra.dll) crashing or behaving anomalously when processing pages with try/catch destructuring patterns. ↗
- →Attack vector is web-based: attacker hosts a specially crafted website or embeds an ActiveX control marked 'safe for initialization' in an Office document to trigger the vulnerability via Microsoft browsers. ↗
- ·Exploit status at time of patching: publicly disclosed but not yet observed exploited in the wild; exploitation assessed as 'More Likely' for latest software release. ↗
- ·Patch KB4034674 and KB4034658 address this vulnerability; unpatched Windows 10 1703 systems running Microsoft Edge remain at risk. ↗

CVE-2017-8635 [HIGH] CWE-119 GHSA-9424-w7q3-6p43: Microsoft browsers in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 8
Microsoft browsers in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 and R2, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user due to the way that JavaScript engines render when handling objects in memory, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability". This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-8634, CVE-2017-8636, CVE-2017-8638, CVE-2017-8639, CVE-2017-8640, CVE-2017-8641, CVE-2017-8645, CVE-2017-8646, CVE-2017-8647, CVE-2017-8655, CVE-2017-8656, CVE-2017-8657, CVE-2017-8670, CVE-2017-8671, CVE-2017-8672, and CVE-2017-8674.

CVE-2017-8656 [HIGH] Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft browser JavaScript engines render content when handling objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that an attacker could execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Microsoft browsers and then convince a user to view the website. An attacker could also embed an ActiveX control marked "safe for initialization" in an application or Microsoft Office document that hosts the related rendering engine. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites, and websites that acc

## Abstract
JavaScript (JS) engine vulnerabilities pose significant security threats
affecting billions of web browsers. While fuzzing is a prevalent technique for
finding such vulnerabilities, there have been few studies that leverage the
recent advances in neural network language models (NNLMs). In this paper, we
present , the first NNLM-guided fuzzer for finding JS engine
vulnerabilities.
The key aspect of our technique is to transform a JS abstract syntax tree
(AST) into a sequence of AST subtrees that can directly train prevailing
NNLMs. We demonstrate that is capable of ge
