Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Crash occurs in chakra.dll at JsUtil::WeaklyReferencedKeyDictionary::FindEntry during Object.setPrototypeOf execution; monitor for access violations in chakra!Js::JavascriptObject::ChangePrototype call chain ↗
- →Exploit entry point is chakra!Js::JavascriptObject::EntrySetPrototypeOf; EDR/crash telemetry should flag abnormal call stacks rooted in this function followed by memory corruption faults ↗
- →PoC triggers via a crafted web page; the minimal trigger is Object.setPrototypeOf({}, this) followed by location.reload() — network/proxy inspection of page content delivering this JS pattern is a viable detection vector ↗
- →Vulnerability is in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016; patch KB4038788 closes the attack surface ↗
- ·Exploit status at time of advisory was 'Publicly Disclosed: No; Exploited: No' but rated 'Exploitation More Likely' for the latest software release — treat as high-priority patching target ↗

CVE-2017-8751 [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
