Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

CVE-2017-0067 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft scripting engines that improperly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploits this vulnerability could gain user rights, and if the current user has administrative rights, they could take full control of the affected system.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at significant risk as an attacker could install programs, view, change, or delete data, and create new accounts with full user rights. If exploited by a user with administrative privileges, the consequences could be catastrophic.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately apply available security patches from Microsoft and monitor systems for unauthorized activity. Additionally, it is advisable to limit user permissions to the minimum necessary.

Original NVD description (English source)

A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way affected Microsoft scripting engines render when handling objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. These vulnerabilities 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.
