CVE-2024-38112 is an actively exploited vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform. Microsoft classifies it as a spoofing flaw, while multiple technical reports describe exploitation through the MHTML/MSHTML handling path to access and execute attacker-controlled content via the disabled but still present Internet Explorer components on Windows. Observed exploitation abused crafted shortcut-style lure files and required the victim to open or execute a malicious file, after which the attacker could leverage MSHTML behavior to launch follow-on payloads. The vulnerability was used as a zero-day in campaigns attributed to Void Banshee and was associated with delivery of the Atlantida stealer. Available reporting indicates the flaw affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability and that Microsoft’s July 2024 security updates broke the observed attack chain.
