Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →Look for JIT-compiled JavaScript in Microsoft Edge (Chakra engine) that performs repeated integer addition with the constant 0x7ffffff0 inside a loop, which is the trigger pattern for the incorrect bounds calculation leading to OOB write. ↗
- →Detect scripts that loop exactly 2 iterations while performing large integer additions (e.g., 0x100000 increments) combined with an offset of 0x7ffffff0 — the specific loop count and constants are fingerprints of this CVE-2018-0769 exploit pattern. ↗
- →Monitor for high-iteration JIT warm-up loops (e.g., 0x10000 iterations) calling a function with a Uint32Array argument, which is used to trigger JIT compilation of the vulnerable bounds-check elimination path. ↗
- →The vulnerability is in GlobOpt::TrackIntSpecializedAddSubConstant in the Chakra JIT. Bounds check elimination on typed array accesses (e.g., Uint32Array) after integer overflow in a loop is the root cause; flag any crash or bailout anomaly in this code path during Edge scripting engine analysis. ↗
- →The exploit is delivered via a specially crafted web page targeting Microsoft Edge (HTML-based); monitor for drive-by web-based attack scenarios where Edge navigates to attacker-controlled or compromised sites hosting this script pattern. ↗
- ·The vulnerability only affects Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 1709 with the Chakra scripting engine prior to ChakraCore v1.7.6; patched systems (KB4056891/KB4056892/KB4056893/KB4056888/KB4056890) are not affected. ↗
- ·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. ↗
- ·The OOB write primitive requires the JIT to have compiled the vulnerable function (requires ~0x10000 warm-up iterations); detection rules targeting cold/interpreted execution will miss the exploit. ↗

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
