CVE-2021-26411 is a memory corruption vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer that was exploited in the wild to achieve code execution in the browser’s renderer process. The provided content explicitly identifies it as an Internet Explorer memory corruption issue and notes exploit delivery via fetched HTML/JavaScript pages, including malvertising and spear-phishing-linked pages. Observed exploit code was described as similar to publicly available proof-of-concept code, with modifications to obfuscation and payload retrieval. In reported campaigns, successful exploitation was used to execute shellcode and then stage additional malware loaders or follow-on exploits.
