AnalysisAIv3 – Jul 07, 2026

Security-feature bypass in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) versions prior to 150.0.4078.48 lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker circumvent a browser security control over the network via improper authorization (CWE-285). Microsoft rates it CVSS 10.0 with a changed scope, meaning a successful bypass can affect resources beyond the browser's original security boundary. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and CISA's SSVC framework records exploitation as 'none', so this is a high-severity but not currently-exploited issue with a vendor patch already available.

Earlier versions of this analysis (2)
v2 Jul 07, 2026 - 15:28 cvss changed CVSS 10.0

Security feature bypass in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) versions prior to 150.0.4078.48 lets a remote, unauthenticated attacker circumvent a browser security control over the network, per CVSS a scope-changing high-confidentiality/high-integrity impact (CVSS 10.0). Microsoft reported the flaw and has shipped a fixed build; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, and EPSS remains low at 0.46% (37th percentile). CISA SSVC currently rates exploitation as 'none' with total technical impact but non-automatable exploitation.

v1 Jul 03, 2026 - 21:08 CVSS 8.7

Security feature bypass in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) lets a remote unauthenticated attacker circumvent a browser-enforced authorization control over the network, per CWE-285 improper authorization. Microsoft rates it CVSS 8.7 with a scope-changed impact (C:H/I:H), meaning a successful bypass reaches resources or a security boundary beyond the vulnerable component. No public exploit identified at time of analysis (temporal E:U), and Microsoft has already shipped an official fix.

DescriptionNVD

Improper authorization in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Microsoft Edge versions below 150.0.4078.48 contain a critical authorization bypass (CVE-2026-57983, CVSS 10.0) that allows unauthenticated remote attackers to circumvent browser security controls and compromise resources beyond the browser environment. While no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, the maximum severity rating and broad attack surface present substantial organizational risk. A vendor patch is immediately available and should be deployed urgently to all endpoints.

Recommended Action

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Microsoft Edge installations and identify systems running versions prior to 150.0.4078.48. Within 7 days: Deploy Microsoft Edge version 150.0.4078.48 or later to all affected endpoints. Within 30 days: Verify patch deployment completion across all systems and confirm no pre-150.0.4078.48 versions remain in production.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch.
