Detection & IOCsextracted from sources · hover to see the quote
- →CVE-2018-8372 is a type confusion vulnerability in Microsoft Edge's Chakra scripting engine triggered via OP_Memset when the 'value' argument equals the MissingItem value (-524286 / 0xFFF80002), which bypasses the patched input checks on native arrays. ↗
- →Exploit pattern uses a Proxy object assigned to __proto__ of a buggy array combined with getPrototypeOf overridden to Object.prototype.valueOf to set up the type confusion primitive. ↗
- →The vulnerability is exploitable via a specially crafted website targeting Microsoft Edge/IE scripting engine, or via an ActiveX control embedded in an Office document hosting the browser rendering engine. ↗
- ·The exploit-db PoC (45889) targets the bypass of the CVE-2018-8372 patch rather than the original CVE-2018-8372 vulnerability itself; the OP_Memset 'value' argument check was not included in the original patch. ↗
- ·Microsoft's exploit status at time of advisory was 'Publicly Disclosed: No; Exploited: No' but rated 'Exploitation More Likely' for the latest software release. ↗

Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability
Description: A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. 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 crafted website d
