CVE-2017-8715 is fixed in 10 products on 1 platform, first by KB4041689, released October 10, 2017. It is not reported as exploited, but the vendor rates exploitation more likely. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
<p>A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Device Guard that could allow an attacker to inject malicious code into a Windows PowerShell session. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could inject code into a trusted PowerShell process to bypass the Device Guard Code Integrity policy on the local machine.</p> <p>To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to access the local machine, and then inject malicious code into a script that is trusted by the Code Integrity policy. The injected code would then run with the same trust level as the script and bypass the Code Integrity policy.</p> <p>The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how PowerShell exposes functions and processes user supplied code.</p>
