Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Microsoft Edge (affected versions not specified)

Description The issue is related to incorrect handling of objects in memory by the JavaScript interpreter in Microsoft Edge when rendering content. This can lead to memory corruption, allowing a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user by using a specially crafted website, document, or application. If the current user has administrative 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.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
