⚡ RCE ⌖ EXPLOITED IN THE WILD SHAME 75/100 exploited-in-wildunpatchedrce

A memory corruption flaw in Internet Explorer allowed remote attackers to execute code or cause denial-of-service.

This unpatched vulnerability was actively exploited in the wild, enabling remote code execution and denial-of-service attacks. DIB organizations must ensure legacy browsers are patched or replaced, as reliance on unpatched software violates CMMC/NIST 800-171 requirements for timely patching and vulnerability management.

Shame score — Microsoft shipped a known, actively exploited vulnerability in a widely used product without timely patching, demonstrating negligence in vulnerability management.

▸ RECOMMENDED ACTION  Actively exploited (CISA KEV) — remediate now, ahead of your normal patch cycle.
