Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Vulnerability is triggered via a specially crafted website hosted by an attacker, targeting Microsoft browser JavaScript engines (Chakra/Microsoft Scripting Engine) through memory corruption when handling objects in memory during delayed compilation/source fetching. ↗
- →Exploit can also be delivered via an ActiveX control marked 'safe for initialization' embedded in an application or Microsoft Office document hosting the related rendering engine — monitor for Office documents loading ActiveX/scripting engine content. ↗
- →The out-of-bounds access occurs in Chakra's List.h during delayed compilation when fetching function source; in debug builds this triggers an assertion at List.h line 329 (index >= 0 && index < count). Monitor for Chakra/Edge crashes or illegal instruction signals as indicators of exploitation attempts. ↗
- →The PoC JavaScript triggers the bug via asm.js module functions combined with a deopt object whose toString callback re-references the compiled function during delayed compilation — detect JavaScript containing 'use asm' combined with toString-based deoptimization callbacks passed to comparison operations. ↗
- ·Exploit status at time of advisory was 'Publicly Disclosed: No; Exploited: No; Latest Software Release: Exploitation More Likely' — no in-the-wild exploitation confirmed at patch time, but exploitation was rated more likely. ↗
- ·The PoC is derived from a V8/Chrome test case minimized to demonstrate the Chakra issue; the root cause is an out-of-bounds read of the source buffer treated as a pointer, making it likely exploitable for code execution. ↗
- ·Affected scope is Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 1703 and Microsoft Scripting Engine; patches are referenced via KB4034674, KB4034660, and KB4034658. ↗
