CVE-2019-0676 is an information disclosure vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer caused by improper handling of objects in memory during processing of the res:// URI scheme. The flaw is described as a variant of earlier Internet Explorer issues including CVE-2017-0022, CVE-2016-3298, CVE-2016-0162, and CVE-2016-3351. Successful exploitation allows an attacker to determine whether specific files are present on the victim system. The vulnerability does not itself provide code execution, but it can be used as a reconnaissance primitive within a broader exploit chain to tailor follow-on exploitation.
