CVE-2015-0055 is an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and 11 addressed by Microsoft Security Update 3034682. According to the provided content, the flaw allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges by luring a user to a specially crafted website. Microsoft states the update adds additional permission validations in Internet Explorer, indicating the issue stems from insufficient permission checking within the browser. The vulnerability is categorized as an elevation-of-privilege issue rather than a standalone code-execution flaw, and Microsoft explicitly notes that it does not by itself allow arbitrary code execution and would need to be chained with another vulnerability.
