An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2017-0037 in the wild since at least 28 Mar 2022.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Edge. 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-2017-0037/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-0037/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-0037","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-0037/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-0037","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xpg5-jv85-754h"],"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 and Edge via crafted CSS and JavaScript exploiting a type confusion vulnerability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"edge","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-843","name":"Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type"}],"description":"Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and 11 and Microsoft Edge have a type confusion issue in the Layout::MultiColumnBoxBuilder::HandleColumnBreakOnColumnSpanningElement function in mshtml.dll, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a crafted Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) token sequence and crafted JavaScript code that operates on a TH element.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2017-02-24","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-02-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41454","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Edge / Internet Explorer - 'HandleColumnBreakOnColumnSpanningElement' Type Confusion"},{"date":"2017-07-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"42354","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer - 'mshtml.dll' Remote Code Execution (MS17-007)"},{"date":"2017-10-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"43125","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (Windows 7 x86) - 'mshtml.dll' Remote Code Execution (MS17-007)"},{"date":"2022-03-28T01:19:58Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/chattopadhyaykittu/CVE-2017-0037","stars":0,"title":null}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2017-0037","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-28","dueDate":"2022-04-18","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Edge and Internet Explorer","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer Type Confusion Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:edge","products":["microsoft:edge","microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Windows Graphics Component","id":"CVE-2017-0038"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Browser","id":"CVE-2017-0035"},"products":["Internet Browser"],"published":"2017-02-26","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-26411","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-7200","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2016-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-7201","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2016-11-10"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2016-3351","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-09-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft ChakraCore","id":"CVE-2017-0028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-0223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-15"}],"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":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["Microsoft Corporation"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code in Internet Explorer and Edge via crafted CSS and JavaScript exploiting a type confusion vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-0037/"}
