High CVSS 7.1
CVE-2026-57988
Relative path traversal in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can modify or destroy data and degrade the service.
- Weakness
- A “../” sequence in a path lets an attacker climb the directory tree and reach other files.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
