CVE-2021-26411 is a memory corruption vulnerability affecting Internet Explorer, including versions 9 and 11, and legacy EdgeHTML-based Microsoft Edge. Rendering a specially crafted webpage can trigger the vulnerability and permit attacker-controlled code execution. Observed exploitation achieved shellcode execution within the Internet Explorer renderer process. The vulnerability was exploited as a zero-day against security researchers and subsequently incorporated into multiple exploit kits and malware campaigns. Microsoft fixed it in March 2021. The specific vulnerable function and memory corruption mechanism are not established by the available information.
