DescriptionCVE.org

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) is enabled by a type confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) that can be triggered when a user visits attacker-controlled web content. All versions of Edge (Chromium-based) are affected per the wildcard CPE, with full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact at a CVSS 8.8. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation User interaction is required (UI:R): the target must actively navigate to attacker-controlled web content in Microsoft Edge - passive network interception alone is insufficient. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 8.8 score is well-supported by the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H: the attack is network-delivered with low complexity and no privilege requirement, needing only a single user interaction (visiting a malicious page), and achieves full CIA impact within the browser process. … 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 Apply the vendor-released patch per the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-72984; the CVSS temporal modifier RL:O confirms official remediation is available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, alert business leadership and IT teams to this critical vulnerability, conduct an immediate audit of Edge deployments across all endpoints and systems to establish baseline exposure, and mobilize patch deployment resources. …
