- →Exploitation of CVE-2019-0676 enables unauthorized file system enumeration — monitor Internet Explorer processes for anomalous file-existence probing activity ↗
- →CVE-2019-0676 was confirmed exploited in the wild at time of patch release (February 2019 Patch Tuesday); treat any unpatched IE instances as actively targeted ↗
- ·The vulnerability resides in Internet Explorer's memory object handling; the fix changes how IE handles objects in memory — detection should focus on IE process behaviour, not a network-level signature ↗

CVE-2016-5195 Detection Deficit: A Year in Review of 0-days Used In-The-Wild in 2019 - Project Zero
Posted by Maddie Stone, Project Zero
In May 2019, Project Zero released our tracking spreadsheet for 0-days used “in the wild” and we started a more focused effort on analyzing and learning from these exploits. This is another way Project Zero is trying to make zero-day hard. This blog post synthesizes many of our efforts and what we’ve seen over the last year. We provide a review of what we can learn from 0-day exploits detected as used in the wild in 2019. In conjunction with this blog post, we are also publishing another blog post today about our root cause analysis work that informed the conclusions in this Year in Review. We are also releasing 8 root cause analyses that we have done for in-the-wild 0-days from 2019.

## Executive summary
In May 2020, Kaspersky technologies prevented an attack on a South Korean company by a malicious script for Internet Explorer. Closer analysis revealed that the attack used a previously unknown full chain that consisted of two zero-day exploits: a remote code execution exploit for Internet Explorer and an elevation of privilege exploit for Windows. Unlike a previous full chain that we discovered, used in Operation WizardOpium, the new full chain targeted the latest builds of Windows 10, and our tests demonstrated reliable exploitation of Internet Explorer 11 and Windows 10 build 18363 x64.
On June 8, 2020, we reported our discoveries to Microsoft, and the company confirmed the vulnerabilities. At the time of our report, the security team at Mi
