❗ CVE-2024-43461 is a spoofing vulnerability in the MSHTML platform on Windows systems. This flaw allows attackers to deceive users by disguising malicious files as legitimate ones. When exploited as part of an attack chain, such as with CVE-2024-38112, this vulnerability can enable the delivery of malware, such as info-stealers, by tricking users into interacting with compromised files. The attack often starts by forcing the use of Internet Explorer to open malicious content, bypassing normal security mechanisms. ℹ️ This mitigation script ensures that MSHTML is disabled by performing the following actions: Create Registry Path (if missing): Checks if the registry path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\IE\Security exists. If not, it creates the required path to enable configuration. Confirms the creation of the registry path. Disable MSHTML: Sets the registry value DisableMSHTML to 1, effectively disabling the MSHTML platform. Provides feedback that MSHTML has been successfully disabled and advises that a system restart may be required for changes to take effect. ✅ Running this mitigation script ensures that your system is protected against CVE-2024-43461 by deactivating the MSHTML platform.
