The Microsoft (1) VBScript 5.6 through 5.8 and (2) JScript 5.6 through 5.8 engines, as used in Internet Explorer 8 through 11 and other products, allow remote attackers to bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted web site, aka "VBScript and JScript ASLR Bypass."

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an older Microsoft scripting engine issue that weakens a key Windows exploit defense, ASLR, when a user visits a crafted website. It matters mainly where legacy Internet Explorer 8 through 11, VBScript, or JScript 5.6 through 5.8 remain in use. Exposure is most likely in legacy Windows environments that still allow Internet Explorer 8 through 11 or dependent VBScript/JScript components. Current exposure cannot be inferred from the bundle alone. Prioritize this for legacy estate cleanup rather than emergency response unless affected systems are still internet-facing or used for browsing. The business risk is reduced exploit resistance on outdated client technology. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft advisories MS15-043 and MS15-053 for official remediation.; Apply relevant Microsoft security updates where legacy products remain present.; Retire or restrict Internet Explorer 8 through 11 where business processes still depend on it..
