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

Description The issue is related to the incorrect handling of objects in memory by the scripting engine in Microsoft Edge. This could allow a remote attacker to corrupt memory and execute arbitrary code using a specially crafted web page. 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.
