## Technical details

An absolute path traversal vulnerability (CWE-36) exists in Microsoft Edge for Android versions prior to 150.0.4078.48. The flaw allows a local, unauthorized attacker to bypass intended file access restrictions by providing absolute paths to sensitive files. Successful exploitation enables the disclosure of information from the application's local storage. The attack requires local access to the device but does not require elevated privileges or user interaction. Microsoft has addressed this issue in the latest browser updates.
