The VOID Banshee Hacker Group Exploits MSHTML Vulnerability
The VOID Banshee hacker group has been identified as the culprit behind the exploitation of a recently discovered vulnerability in MSHTML. MSHTML is a component that interprets and displays HTML code, including markers, styles, scripts, and other elements of web pages. It also supports various versions of the HTML standard along with web technologies like CSS (cascading styles) and JavaScript.
Historically, many browsers such as Internet Explorer and older versions of Microsoft Edge relied on MSHTML as their display engine. However, with Microsoft Edge’s shift to Chromium, the importance of the MSHTML platform has diminished, no longer serving as the primary component for rendering web pages in modern versions of the Windows operating system. Despite this shift, MSHTML is still utilized in applications like Microsoft Outlook and other Windows programs.
