Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the victim to run a vulnerable Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) build below version 149.0.4022.62 and to actively open or interact with attacker-controlled web content (UI:R) - typically visiting a malicious page or opening crafted content; no prior authentication to the target is needed (PR:N). Limiting factors: high attack complexity (AC:H) means the type-confusion trigger is not reliably achievable, required user interaction removes fully drive-by/unattended exploitation, and the affected scope is the browser process (S:U) with no stated sandbox escape. The specific feature or content type that triggers the type confusion is not described in the available sources.

Impact

This is a moderate-priority browser vulnerability that warrants prompt but not emergency patching. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 7.5 (HIGH) with vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H: network-reachable and unauthenticated (PR:N), but gated by two meaningful frictions - high attack complexity (AC:H) and required user interaction (UI:R), meaning a victim must be lured to attacker-controlled content and the exploit is not consistently reliable. Impact is full (C:H/I:H/A:H) but scope is unchanged (S:U), indicating no stated sandbox/privilege escape in the available data. On the exploitation-signal side there is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no PoC or exploit reference in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week', consistent with a patched, high-severity browser RCE that should be remediated on a near-term cycle rather than treated as an emergency. The signals are internally consistent: high severity by impact, tempered real-world risk by AC:H + UI:R and the absence of any exploitation evidence. No conflicts between the CVSS vector and the description were observed, but note EPSS/KEV/PoC data are entirely absent (not confirmed negative), so exploitation likelihood is inferred from the lack of listings rather than measured.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker hosts a malicious web page (or injects crafted content into one the victim will open) and lures a user running a vulnerable Edge build to visit it; the crafted content triggers a type-confusion condition in the browser, leading to arbitrary code execution in the context of the browser process. Because UI:R applies, success depends on the victim actively opening attacker-controlled content, and AC:H means the trigger is not reliably achieved on every attempt. No public exploit code or PoC reference was provided in the available data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Type confusion in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) before 149.0.4022.62 can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute code in the browser process when a victim opens or interacts with attacker-controlled web content. Exploitation is constrained by high attack complexity and mandatory user interaction, and no stated sandbox escape is involved. Microsoft has released a vendor patch; no public exploit code or confirmed active exploitation was identified in the available data, making this a prompt-patching item rather than an emergency.

RemediationAI

Update Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) to version 149.0.4022.62 or later; this is the vendor-released patch, and the advisory is available at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-62765. The available data does not document a separate workaround, so applying the vendor update through normal Edge update channels is the specified remediation.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-843 describes access of a resource using an incompatible type, a memory-safety class that can corrupt object state when Chromium-based Edge processes crafted content. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:microsoft_edge_(chromium-based):* confirms the affected product is Microsoft Edge rather than a separate Chromium component, and EUVD lists affected builds from 1.0.0.0 to before 149.0.4022.62. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates a network-reachable flaw with high attack complexity, no authentication prerequisite, required victim interaction, unchanged scope, and high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; the supplied sources do not describe the specific feature or content type that triggers the type confusion. Tags associated with the record include Authentication Bypass, Memory Corruption, Google, and Microsoft, while the authoritative root-cause class is CWE-843.

DescriptionNVD

Access of resource using incompatible type ('type confusion') in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A high-severity memory corruption vulnerability (type confusion) in Microsoft Edge could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code within the browser process when a user visits malicious content. This affects the entire workforce using Edge, but the technical constraints (high complexity, required user interaction, no sandbox escape) reduce the likelihood of mass exploitation; leadership should prioritize standard patching to prevent potential targeted attacks.

Business Impact: Medium
Compensating Controls

Apply vendor patch.
