Descriptions
The broker EditWith feature in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 through 11 allows remote attackers to bypass the AppContainer protection mechanism and gain privileges via a DelegateExecute launch of an arbitrary application, as demonstrated by a transition from Low Integrity to Medium Integrity, aka "Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability."
La funcionalidad EditWith de broker en Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 hasta la versión 11 permite a atacantes remotos eludir el mecanismo de protección AppContainer y obtener privilegios a través del lanzamiento DelegateExecute de una aplicación arbitraria, según lo demostrado por una transición desde Low Integrity hasta Medium Integrity, también conocida como 'Internet Explorer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to escape the Application Container and execute code in the context of the logged-in user on vulnerable installations of Microsoft Internet Explorer. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the EditWith functionality of the broker process for Internet Explorer. Code that is running in the AppContainer can use the DelegateExecute functionality of shell execution to execute arbitrary applications in the context of the user, not just applications that are in the Internet Explorer allowed list.
