Microsoft added an option to disable JScript for IE
As part of the October 2020 routine security update, Microsoft added an option for IE to allow system administrators to disable the JScript component of IE. The JScript engine was first included in IE3 released in 1996. It is a JS dialect implemented by Microsoft based on the JavaScript language standard ECMAScript. The development of the JScript engine has stopped. Microsoft abandoned the JScript engine after the release of IE8 in 2009, but it still exists in the Windows operating system as an internal component of IE. Because it is no longer actively developed and rarely releases security updates, it has become an important target for attackers. After 11 years of giving up, Microsoft finally introduced an option in the registry to allow system administrators to enable the corresponding registry key to prohibit jscript.dll from executing code.
