Use after free in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an authorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) stems from a use-after-free (CWE-416) memory-corruption flaw that lets an authorized attacker run arbitrary code over a network within the browser process. Microsoft has shipped an official fix and rates it CVSS 8.3; the exploit-maturity metric is Unproven (E:U), meaning no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to hold some level of authorization (CVSS PR:L, and the description explicitly calls the actor an 'authorized attacker'), meaning it is not a fully unauthenticated internet-wide attack; the exact privilege - such as a logged-in browser session, a compromised low-privilege renderer, or authenticated access to attacker-served content - is not specified in the provided data and should be confirmed via the MSRC advisory. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 3.1 vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L yields 8.3 (High), driven by network reachability, low complexity, and high confidentiality/integrity impact, offset by a requirement for some privilege (PR:L) and only partial availability impact (A:L). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker lures or directs a targeted Edge user to attacker-controlled web content (or leverages an already-authorized foothold implied by PR:L) that triggers the use-after-free, corrupting heap memory to hijack a freed object and execute code in the browser process. Given AC:L, the trigger is reliable once the vulnerable code path is reached, but the temporal metric E:U indicates no public exploit code exists at time of analysis, so exploitation would require original vulnerability-research effort. |
| Remediation | Apply the vendor fix: Patch available per vendor advisory - update Microsoft Edge to the current patched Stable channel build via Edge's built-in update mechanism (edge://settings/help) or your enterprise update ring/WSUS/Intune deployment, referencing https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-50521 for the exact fixed version, which is not enumerated in the provided data. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
