High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Internet Explorer versions 9

Description The issue is related to incorrect access to objects in memory, which can lead to memory corruption. This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the current user. If the current user has administrative rights, a successful exploitation could give the attacker complete control over the affected system, enabling them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.

Recommendations For Internet Explorer version 9, update to a newer version to mitigate the risk. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to potentially malicious web sites to minimize the risk of exploitation.
