CVE-2017-0210
HIGH ⌖ ON CISA KEV · EXPLOITEDInternet Explorer's cross-domain policy enforcement flaw allowed attackers to escalate privileges and access sensitive data.
This vulnerability in Internet Explorer bypassed cross-domain policies, enabling attackers to escalate privileges and access information they shouldn't have. DIB organizations must ensure legacy browsers are patched or replaced, as unpatched IE remains a high-risk attack vector. Failure to update can lead to data breaches and compliance violations under NIST 800-171.
Shame score — A known privilege escalation flaw in a widely used browser that was actively exploited in the wild, indicating negligence in patch management and reliance on outdated software.
▸ RECOMMENDED ACTION Actively exploited (CISA KEV) — remediate now, ahead of your normal patch cycle.
