CVE-2016-0002 | A web page with a dangerous script. Think of memory as a work desk and a script engine as the helper following a page's instructions. In affected Microsoft VBScript/JScript engines used by Internet Explorer, mishandling objects on that desk could let a crafted page run attacker code with the current user's rights. This is remote code execution, not just a broken page. Microsoft patched it in January 2016. The desk is an analogy. We start at 0002 because 0001 was rejected. https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2016-0002
