Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
AnalysisAI
Remote code execution in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) before 150.0.4078.48 allows an unauthenticated attacker to run arbitrary code when a victim is lured to a malicious web page, via a type-confusion flaw (CWE-843) in the browser engine. The CVSS:3.1 score is 8.3 with a scope change (S:C), indicating a likely sandbox/renderer boundary escape, though exploitation carries high attack complexity and requires user interaction. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and CISA SSVC records exploitation status as none, with EPSS at 0.53% (41st percentile).
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is the Chromium-based rendering/JavaScript engine underlying Microsoft Edge (CPE cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:microsoft_edge_(chromium-based)). CWE-843 (Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type, 'type confusion') occurs when code interprets a memory object as a different type than it was allocated as - commonly in V8's JIT-optimized JavaScript execution - allowing an attacker to violate type-safety assumptions and gain control over memory layout. The 'Google' tag and Chromium lineage suggest this is an upstream Chromium/V8 memory-corruption issue inherited by Edge; the CVSS scope change (S:C) is consistent with a renderer-process bug that crosses the browser sandbox boundary. Type-confusion bugs are a classic path to controlled read/write primitives and ultimately code execution.
RemediationAI
Vendor-released patch: update Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) to version 150.0.4078.48 or later, as published in Microsoft's MSRC advisory (https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-58289). Edge updates automatically for most users, so verify the installed build via edge://settings/help and force an update where auto-update is disabled or managed by policy; in enterprise environments push the fixed build through your update management channel. If patching must be delayed, reduce exposure by restricting browsing to trusted sites, enabling Enhanced Security Mode / site isolation, and using web-content filtering or proxy controls to block access to untrusted external sites - the trade-off is reduced usability and potential breakage of legitimate sites that rely on JIT-heavy JavaScript. These are only stopgaps; because the flaw is triggered by rendering malicious web content, upgrading to 150.0.4078.48 is the definitive fix.
