Internet Explorer in Microsoft Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 8.1 and Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer in Windows 10 Gold, 1511, 1607, 1703, and Windows Server 2016 allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user, due to the way that the Microsoft browser JavaScript engines render content when handling objects in memory, aka "Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability". This CVE ID is unique from CVE-2017-8649, CVE-2017-8660, CVE-2017-8729, CVE-2017-8738, CVE-2017-8740, CVE-2017-8741, CVE-2017-8752, CVE-2017-8753, CVE-2017-8755, CVE-2017-8756, and CVE-2017-11764.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2017-8748 is a Microsoft browser vulnerability that could let an attacker run code as the signed-in user. The business risk is highest where affected Internet Explorer or Microsoft Edge versions remain in use on the listed Windows releases, especially on endpoints used for browsing or opening web content. Exposure is limited to the Microsoft browser and Windows combinations named in the CVE: Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge on Windows 7 SP1, Server 2008 R2 SP1, Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Server 2012 R2, Windows 10 Gold through 1703, and Server 2016. Treat as high priority for legacy Microsoft browser exposure. It enables code execution as the current user, but the source bundle does not confirm active exploitation or provide CVSS scoring. Mitigation focus: Review Microsoft MSRC guidance for CVE-2017-8748.; Apply applicable Microsoft updates for affected systems and browsers.; Reduce or remove use of affected Internet Explorer and Edge versions..
