This CVE-2020-0674 vulnerability is currently being widely discussed on the web and should be patched soon by Microsoft. According to various sources, it allows malicious code to take control of your workstations with the same rights as the logged-in user, therefore potentially accessing and deleting your data and programs. Without patches, users browsing the web using the Internet Explorer browser run the risk of visiting a site exploiting this vulnerability and thus being infected.
The recommended technical countermeasure would be to block access to the jscript.dll library. However, this library is used by a multitude of business software, such as M-Files Desktop and other web applications that require Internet Explorer. Blocking this library would render these software programs unusable, thereby causing a significant negative impact on your productivity.
Therefore, tebicom recommends no longer using Internet Explorer as the default browser, but instead prioritizing browsers like Chrome or Firefox while awaiting official countermeasures or updates from Microsoft and business software vendors affected by this vulnerability.
