An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8642 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2017-8642/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8642/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8642","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8642/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8642","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pmjq-9rhw-g9xw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Edge browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can elevate privileges in Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 due to improper JavaScript validation, requiring a security patch.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"edge","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Microsoft Edge in Microsoft Windows 10 1703 allows an attacker to elevate privileges due to the way that Microsoft Edge validates JavaScript under specific conditions, aka \"Microsoft Edge Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability\".
