Warning: 0-Day vulnerability in Internet Explorer (01 17 2020) - Tips and Tricks to Avoid It



CVE-2020-0674 is an RCE vulnerability that exists in the way the scripting engine handles objects in memory in Internet Explorer. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code with the same level of privileges as the current user. If the current user has administrator-level privileges this would grant the attacker control of the system with the ability to view, edit or delete data, install programs or create accounts with privileges of their choosing.




Warning: 0-Day vulnerability in Internet Explorer (01 17 2020)



In March 2020, Microsoft warned users of zero-day attacks exploiting two separate vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities affected all supported Windows versions and no patch was expected until weeks later. There is not currently a CVE identifier for this vulnerability.


The fix for bug CVE-2020-9484 introduced a time of check, time of use vulnerability that allowed a local attacker to perform actions with the privileges of the user that the Tomcat process is using. This issue is only exploitable when Tomcat is configured to persist sessions using the FileStore.
