Malicious websites are exploiting a recently fixed vulnerability in
Microsoft's Silverlight application framework to perform drive-by
malware attacks on vulnerable visitor devices, a security researcher has
determined.<br><br>
The critical code-execution vulnerability, which Microsoft patched last
month, was actively exploited for two years in attack code owned by
Italy-based exploit broker Hacking Team. As Ars reported last July, the
Silverlight exploit came to light following a hack on Hacking Team's
network that exposed gigabytes worth of private e-mails and other data.
Researchers with Russian antivirus provider Kaspersky Lab later
discovered the vulnerability being exploited in the wild and privately
reported it to Microsoft.<br><br>
Now, exploit code for the patched vulnerability is being distributed
through Angler, one of several toolkits that criminals use to seed
websites with code that carry out drive-by attacks.<br>
