An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2013-3893 in the wild since at least 12 Aug 2025.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Explorer. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-3893/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-3893/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-3893","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-3893/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-3893","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7jff-7vvq-8fxx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code in Internet Explorer via crafted JavaScript strings exploiting a use-after-free flaw in mshtml.dll.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Use-after-free vulnerability in the SetMouseCapture implementation in mshtml.dll in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 through 11 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted JavaScript strings, as demonstrated by use of an ms-help: URL that triggers loading of hxds.dll.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2013-09-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2013-09-17","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/ie_setmousecapture_uaf","stars":null,"title":"MS13-080 Microsoft Internet Explorer SetMouseCapture Use-After-Free"},{"date":"2013-10-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"28682","stars":null,"title":"Micorosft Internet Explorer - SetMouseCapture Use-After-Free (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2021-05-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"49872","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 - 'SetMouseCapture ' Use After Free"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Resource Management Errors","id":"CVE-2013-3893","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2025-08-12","dueDate":"2025-09-02","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Internet Explorer","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Resource Management Errors Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_explorer","products":["microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2013"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3894"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3892"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-09-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2014-1776","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-04-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27085","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-0222","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0210","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-0149","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2502","kev_date_added":"2022-04-13","published":"2015-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2419","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-22","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code in Internet Explorer via crafted JavaScript strings exploiting a use-after-free flaw in mshtml.dll.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-3893/"}
