Technical details

A type confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) exists in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) prior to version 150.0.4078.48. The flaw occurs when the browser accesses a resource using an incompatible type, which can be leveraged by a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. While the attack vector is network-based, the CVSS score reflects a high attack complexity, suggesting specific conditions or configurations may be required for successful exploitation. The vulnerability has a high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, and it allows for scope traversal. Users are advised to update to version 150.0.4078.48 or later to mitigate this risk.
