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-2018-8357 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-2018-8357/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8357/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8357","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8357/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8357","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wxhw-5m8c-wrm5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft browsers","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escape the browser sandbox to gain elevated privileges on the host system in Internet Explorer and Edge.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"edge","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Microsoft browsers allowing sandbox escape, aka \"Microsoft Browser Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability.\" This affects 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":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Internet Explorer 11","id":"CVE-2018-8357","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:edge","products":["microsoft:edge","microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Microsoft Edge","id":"CVE-2018-8358"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Certificate Validation in Microsoft .NET Framework components","id":"CVE-2018-8356"},"products":["Internet Explorer 11","Microsoft Edge"],"published":"2018-08-15","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":8.1,"headline":"Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2017-0037","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2017-02-26"},{"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":"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 escape the browser sandbox to gain elevated privileges on the host system in Internet Explorer and Edge.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8357/"}
