Microsoft Edge in Microsoft Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, due to the way that Microsoft Edge accesses objects in memory, aka "Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption Vulnerability". This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-8731, CVE-2017-8751, and CVE-2017-11766.

processMicrosoftEdgeCP.exe
versionMicrosoft Edge 38.14393.1066.0
  • Crash occurs in edgehtml!COptionsCollectionCacheItem::GetAt+0x51 at instruction 'mov rax,qword ptr [rax+rdx*8]' — monitor for access violations in MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe at this offset as an indicator of exploitation attempts.
  • The call stack shows the vulnerability is triggered through chakra!Js::CrossSite::MarshalVar — an access violation with rax pointing to an invalid/out-of-bounds address (e.g., rax=00000001afccb7d4 with rcx=ffff000000000000) is a strong crash indicator.
  • Enable Page Heap on MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe and disable MemGC to reliably reproduce and detect the out-of-bounds read crash in edgehtml!COptionsCollectionCacheItem::GetAt.
  • ·The first debug log (without Page Heap / MemGC disabled) crashes in chakra!Js::CrossSite::MarshalVar rather than directly in COptionsCollectionCacheItem::GetAt, meaning the crash location varies by heap configuration — detection rules should account for both call stacks.
  • ·Exploit status from MSRC indicates 'Publicly Disclosed: No; Exploited: No; Latest Software Release: Exploitation More Likely' — the PoC is public on Exploit-DB but no in-the-wild exploitation was confirmed at time of advisory.
