In a web-based attack scenario where the user is using Internet Explorer in the Windows 8-style UI, an attacker would first need to compromise a website already listed in the Compatibility View (CV) list. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to take action, typically by clicking a link in an email message or in an Instant Messenger message that takes users to the attacker's website, or by opening an attachment sent through email. In all cases, however, an attacker would have no way to force users to view the attacker-controlled content. These websites could contain specially crafted content that could exploit any of these vulnerabilities. The attacker could also take advantage of compromised websites and websites that accept or host user-provided content or advertisements. An attacker could also embed an ActiveX control marked "safe for initialization" in an application or Microsoft Office document that hosts the IE rendering engine. In a web-based attack scenario where the user is using Internet Explorer for the desktop, an attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit any of these vulnerabilities through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website. How could an attacker exploit these vulnerabilities?
