Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2013-3896

Microsoft Silverlight fails to validate pointers when accessing elements, letting a crafted Silverlight application read sensitive information, and attackers combined this leak with code execution bugs in exploit kits. Silverlight is fully end-of-life with browser support long gone. Any surviving install is pure attack surface with no modern purpose.

Do this: Uninstall Silverlight from every endpoint; nothing current requires it.
