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

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in memory, allowing a remote attacker to potentially gain control of a system by exploiting a vulnerability in the way the scripting engine handles objects in memory. This could enable an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the user has administrative rights, the attacker could take control of the affected system, install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights.
