Remote code execution in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) stems from a heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) that a network attacker can trigger when a victim renders crafted web content. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8 with a network vector requiring user interaction (UI:R), and Microsoft has released an official fix (RL:O). No public exploit identified at time of analysis — the temporal metric E:U marks exploit code as unproven — and it is not listed in CISA KEV.

DescriptionCVE.org
Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
Executive ViewAI
Microsoft Edge contains a remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-56645, CVSS 8.8) that allows network attackers to execute arbitrary code when users visit malicious websites. No public exploit is identified at time of analysis. Successful exploitation could grant attackers full system access, enabling theft of sensitive data, installation of malware, and disruption of business operations across your organization.
24 hours: Issue security alert to all Edge users and restrict access to untrusted websites where feasible. 7 days: Deploy patched version per Microsoft's advisory through your standard patch management process to all Edge installations. 30 days: Verify patch deployment across the organization and review logs for any exploitation attempts against unpatched systems.
Apply vendor patch.
Threat Intelligence Overview
How this decision was reached
The engine reads each signal below and applies a fixed list of rules from top to bottom. The first rule that matches sets the recommended action – like a statement, every line is shown.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
A heap overflow occurs when a program writes data beyond the bounds of a buffer allocated in the heap memory region.
