EPSS Score82.2%

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) estimates a 82.2% chance this CVE is exploited in the wild within the next 30 days — higher than 100% of all CVEs. It complements CVSS: a high EPSS on a mid-severity CVE can still be urgent.

Microsoft Internet Explorer contains an use-after-free vulnerability that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving access to an invalid pointer after the deletion of an object. The impacted product could be end-of-life (EoL) and/or end-of-service (EoS). Users should discontinue product utilization.

Required Action
Apply mitigations per vendor instructions, follow applicable BOD 22-01 guidance for cloud services, or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
