Improper neutralization of special elements in output used by a downstream component ('injection') in Copilot Chat (Microsoft Edge) allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose information over a network.
AnalysisAI
Information disclosure in Copilot Chat within Microsoft Edge allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to leak sensitive data by exploiting improper neutralization of special elements passed to a downstream component (an injection flaw). Microsoft has issued a fix, and the low EPSS score (0.08%) combined with a 'none' SSVC exploitation status indicates no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The CVSS 7.5 rating reflects a high confidentiality impact with no integrity or availability effect.
Technical ContextAI
The affected component is Copilot Chat, the AI assistant integrated into the Microsoft Edge browser (CPE cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:copilot_chat_(microsoft_edge)). The root cause is CWE-74, improper neutralization of special elements in output used by a downstream component - a general injection class in which attacker-influenced content is not sanitized before being handed to a consuming component that interprets it. In AI-assistant contexts this class commonly manifests as prompt- or content-injection where untrusted web/page content flows into the model's context or its rendered output, causing the assistant to emit or exfiltrate data the user did not intend to expose. The CVSS confidentiality-only impact (C:H/I:N/A:N) is consistent with an information-disclosure outcome rather than code execution or tampering.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory: apply Microsoft's fix as documented in the MSRC update guide at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-47644. Because Copilot Chat is delivered through Microsoft Edge and its associated cloud service, ensure Microsoft Edge is updated to the latest version and that automatic updates are enabled so the service-side and client-side fixes are received; no discrete standalone patch version is published in the available data. As an interim compensating control where the update cannot be immediately applied, organizations can disable or restrict Copilot Chat in Edge via enterprise policy (e.g., the HubsSidebarEnabled / Copilot-related group policies), accepting the trade-off of losing the AI assistant feature for users.
