Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →PoC triggers OOB write via deferred parsing scope bug in Microsoft Edge Chakra engine; look for JavaScript patterns using default parameter expressions containing nested functions with `with ({})` and a named function expression where the name is referenced inside the body, combined with high-iteration loops (e.g., 0x10000 iterations). ↗
- →The vulnerability is specific to Microsoft Edge's Chakra engine when deferred parsing is active (enabled by default in Edge); the bug causes emission of incorrect opcode `Js::OpCode::StLocalSlot` instead of the correct slot store when only `paramScope->GetIsObject()` is true — monitor for Edge scripting engine crashes or memory corruption in scenarios involving named function expressions with default parameters. ↗
- ·Exploit status at time of patch: publicly disclosed=No, exploited in the wild=No, but rated 'Exploitation More Likely' for the latest software release; no older software release rating provided. ↗
- ·Vulnerability is scoped to Microsoft Edge (HTML-based) scripting engine on Windows 10 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016; the deferred parsing feature that enables the bug is on by default in Edge. ↗

CVE-2017-8740 [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
