Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Edge versions in Windows 10 1607 and Windows Server 2016

Description The issue is related to Microsoft Edge improperly accessing objects in memory, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user has administrative user rights, a successful exploitation could grant the attacker control over the affected system, enabling them to install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
