CVE-2016-3204

38
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-3204 is a critical memory corruption vulnerability affecting Microsoft JScript and VBScript engines, specifically in Internet Explorer versions 9 through 11. This flaw allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service by enticing a user to visit a crafted website. With a CVSS score of 8.8 (High), it presents a significant risk due to its network-based attack vector, low attack complexity, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While no public exploit code is readily available (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), its high EPSS score and community discussion indicate a notable level of concern, though it is not currently listed on CISA's KEV catalog.
