Palo Alto Networks Researcher Discovers Critical Vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge
Summary: Palo Alto Networks researcher Bo Qu was credited with discovering six new critical Microsoft vulnerabilities affecting Internet Explorer versions 7 through 11 and Microsoft Edge. The flaws are documented in Microsoft Security Bulletins MS15-112 and MS15-113, released in November 2015, and were disclosed to Microsoft through the Microsoft Active Protections Program.
Why it matters: Six critical flaws in a browser still widely deployed across enterprise, government and service provider networks mean attackers had working weapons until Microsoft shipped patches in November 2015 - the gap between discovery and patch is where your exposure lives.
