CVE-2023-32046 is an elevation-of-privilege vulnerability in the Windows MSHTML Platform, specifically the MSHTML (Trident) engine. The flaw was exploited in the wild as a zero-day. Exploitation requires a victim to open a specially crafted file, typically delivered through social engineering such as email or a malicious website. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to obtain the rights of the user running the affected application. Microsoft released patches for supported Windows versions, and systems using Security Only updates also require the Internet Explorer cumulative update to fully remediate the issue.
