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-2018-8178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Chakracore. 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-2018-8178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8178/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8178","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hgmx-vqh4-mpgw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft browsers","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code remotely by exploiting memory corruption in Microsoft browsers and ChakraCore.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"chakracore","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"edge","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the way that Microsoft browsers access objects in memory, aka \"Microsoft Browser Memory Corruption Vulnerability.\" This affects ChakraCore, Internet Explorer 11, Microsoft Edge.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Memory corruption in ChakraCore","id":"CVE-2018-8178","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:chakracore","products":["microsoft:chakracore","microsoft:edge","microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft Edge","id":"CVE-2018-8179"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-8177"},"products":["ChakraCore","Internet Explorer 11","Microsoft Edge"],"published":"2018-05-09","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"ChakraCore Scripting Engine Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2018-8298","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2018-07-11"},{"cvss_score":4.2,"headline":"Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2020-0878","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-8500","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ChakraCore vulnerable to privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2017-11767","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-8658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Scripting Engine Memory Corruption Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1555","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-09"}],"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":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code remotely by exploiting memory corruption in Microsoft browsers and ChakraCore.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8178/"}
