HighSummary
CVE-2017-0136 is a remote code execution vulnerability in Microsoft scripting engines that improperly handle objects in memory in Microsoft browsers. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
Risk Assessment
If the current user has administrative rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system, install programs, modify or delete data, and create new accounts with full user rights.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Microsoft software to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability and 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.
