An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Internet Explorer does not properly enforce cross-domain policies, which could allow an attacker to access information from one domain and inject it into another domain, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."

Security readout for executives and security teams

Internet Explorer 10 and 11 had a flaw in how they enforced cross-domain boundaries. An attacker could potentially read information from one domain and inject it into another after user interaction. Because CISA lists this CVE as known exploited, any remaining legacy IE exposure should be treated as urgent. Exposure is most likely on systems where Internet Explorer 10 or Internet Explorer 11 remains installed, usable, or required for legacy workflows. The bundle does not identify other affected Microsoft products or components. Treat this as a high-priority legacy browser remediation item. The main business issue is not only technical severity, but confirmed known exploitation and the risk of old browser dependencies persisting unnoticed. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MSRC guidance for CVE-2017-0210 and apply relevant security updates.; Retire or disable Internet Explorer 10 and 11 where business workflows allow.; Restrict legacy IE use to tightly controlled, documented business cases..
