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

Description The issue is related to errors in handling objects in memory by the Chakra scripting engine in Microsoft Edge. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code using a specially crafted web page. If successfully exploited, the attacker could gain the same user rights as the current user, potentially taking control of the affected system if the user has administrative rights. The attacker could then install programs, view, change, or delete data, or create new accounts with full user rights. The vulnerability can be exploited through a web-based attack scenario, where an attacker hosts a specially crafted website or takes advantage of compromised websites that contain specially crafted content.

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