Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Crash occurs at edgehtml!`TextInput::TextInputLogging::Instance' offset +0x1389aa with access violation (code c0000005) reading from address 0x00000000abcdbbbb — a recognizable magic/poison pointer value useful for crash triage signatures. ↗
- →The crash RIP directly precedes a CFG-protected indirect call (call qword ptr [edgehtml!_guard_dispatch_icall_fptr]), indicating the corruption is positioned to hijack control flow — monitor for CFG violations in edgehtml.dll during partial-page-load scenarios. ↗
- →Exploit requires a slow/custom HTTP server (server.py) to serve a partial HTML document to Edge, triggering DOM modifications before full page load — network-level detection should look for abnormally slow or chunked HTTP responses targeting Edge clients followed by execCommand JavaScript calls. ↗
- ·The PoC was tested specifically against Microsoft Edge 38.14393.1066.0 (EdgeHTML 14.14393); exploitability on other versions is not confirmed by the source. ↗
- ·Microsoft's advisory states the vulnerability has been publicly disclosed but not yet exploited in the wild at time of publication (Exploit Status: Publicly Disclosed:No; Exploited:No). ↗

CVE-2017-8731 [HIGH] Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge improperly accesses objects in memory. The vulnerability could corrupt memory in such a way that enables an attacker to 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 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.
An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit the vulnerability through Microsoft Edge, and then convince a user to
