Microsoft Edge: Use-after-free vulnerability allows remote code execution

A use-after-free vulnerability (CWE-416) in Microsoft Edge allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network. The description also refers to Edge for iOS, while the affected products are listed as Chromium-based Edge. The CNA rates the issue at CVSS 3.1 8.8 with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability, and exploitation requires a user to visit a malicious page or perform a similar action but no privileges. VulDB scores the issue lower (6.3), so the severity assessment is inconsistent across sources.

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based): Privilege escalation via integer overflow

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contains an integer overflow or wraparound (CWE-190) that allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network. According to the CNA record, the CVSS vector requires user interaction (UI:R), so exploitation most likely requires a user to visit a malicious or compromised web page. The CVSS score is 8.8 (CNA) but VulDB rates it 6.3 (Medium), and public technical details are limited.

Microsoft Edge: Use-after-free allows elevation of privilege

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contains a use-after-free memory flaw (CWE-416) that allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over the network. The CVSS vector rates the impact as high for integrity and availability, with no confidentiality impact. Exploitation requires an attacker who already holds low privileges (PR:L) and no user interaction is required according to the CVSS vector.

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based): Remote code execution via heap buffer overflow

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) contains a heap-based buffer overflow that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute code. Exploitation requires that a user visits a malicious or compromised web page, for example through phishing or malicious advertising. Microsoft rates the impact as high for confidentiality, integrity and availability, with a CVSS base score of 8.8.

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based): Double free leads to remote code execution

A double free vulnerability (CWE-415) in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized remote attacker to execute code. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 8.8 and the vector requires user interaction, so a victim would typically need to open a malicious web page or link. The NVD analysis is still pending, and the vendor's fixed build must be verified against the MSRC entry.

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based): Remote code execution via type confusion

A type confusion flaw (CWE-843) in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute code. The attacker must host a specially crafted web page and get a user to visit it with an affected Edge version. Successful exploitation could allow code execution within the browser renderer process, and MSRC does not state whether a sandbox escape is also required.

Microsoft Edge: Remote code execution via double free

A double free vulnerability (CWE-415) in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over the network. An attacker needs a user to visit a malicious page or open malicious content, because user interaction is required. The CVSS score is 8.8 (High), and CISA SSVC rates the technical impact as total.

Microsoft Entra application proxy: Elevation of privilege via improper authentication

Microsoft Entra application proxy (formerly Azure AD Application Proxy) publishes on-premises web applications to remote users. Improper authentication (CWE-287) allows an unauthenticated attacker over the network to elevate privileges. Microsoft rates the flaw critical (CVSS 3.1 base score 10.0) and states that customers need to take no action. No exploitation or public proof of concept was found in the sources retrieved.

Microsoft VM Inspector for Azure VMs: Elevation of privilege via link following

VM Inspector for Azure Virtual Machines contains an improper link resolution flaw (CWE-59, link following) before file access. A network-based attacker without privileges or user interaction could exploit it to elevate privileges, and the CVSS base score is 10.0 (Critical). Microsoft states that the issue has already been fully mitigated on its side and requires no customer action; the NVD entry was still awaiting analysis at the time of research.

Microsoft Office Word: Remote code execution due to numeric truncation

A numeric truncation error in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized remote attacker to execute code on an affected computer. User interaction is required (CVSS UI:R), so the attack most likely relies on a crafted file delivered by email or document sharing. The CVSS base score is 8.8 (high), with high impact on confidentiality, integrity and availability.

Microsoft Office Word: Remote code execution via heap-based buffer overflow

A heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft Office Word allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network. The attack requires a user to open a crafted Word document, for example an email attachment or a downloaded file. No internet-exposed service is involved, so phishing is the realistic attack path. CVSS 8.8 (High).
