DescriptionNVD

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 151.0.4129.59 allows a network attacker to run arbitrary code by exploiting a type-confusion condition (CWE-843) when a victim is lured to malicious web content. Because the CVSS scope is Changed (S:C), successful exploitation can escape the affected component and impact the broader system, making this a high-severity browser flaw. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the victim to actively load attacker-controlled web content in an unpatched Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) instance below 151.0.4129.59 - the CVSS UI:R flag means user interaction (visiting a malicious or compromised page, or opening malicious content) is mandatory, which is the primary limiting factor. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H, 9.6) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw requiring only that a user visit malicious content, with a scope change and total confidentiality/integrity/availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Vendor-released patch: update Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) to version 151.0.4129.59 or later, which the input confirms as the first fixed build; consult the MSRC advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-66321 for the exact channel builds. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, identify all Microsoft Edge installations across the organization and deploy emergency notification to administrators and end-users requiring immediate update to version 151.0.4129.59 or later; enable forced updates on managed devices. …
