Technical details

A race condition vulnerability (CWE-367) exists in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) for Android. The flaw is a Time-of-Check Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) issue that occurs during the processing of web content. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by enticing a user to visit a malicious webpage or interact with specially crafted content. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to win a timing race, which if successful, allows for arbitrary code execution in the context of the browser. Microsoft has addressed this in version 150.0.4078.48 and later.
