CVE-2008-0077 is a critical use-after-free vulnerability affecting Microsoft Internet Explorer versions 6 SP1, 6 SP2, and 7, as well as several Windows operating systems. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by manipulating specific properties, such as the 'by' property of an animateMotion SVG element, leading to memory corruption. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High) and an EPSS score indicating significant exploitability, this vulnerability poses a high risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and potential for complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While there is no evidence of active exploitation, nor readily available public exploit code in Metasploit or ExploitDB, the high FAUCET Risk Score of 98/100 underscores its severe potential impact.
