High CVSS 8.3
CVE-2026-72970
Heap-based buffer overflow 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 read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and degrade the service.
- Weakness
- A heap overflow corrupts allocator structures and can lead to code execution.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score stays low: nothing points to imminent exploitation, which is no reason to leave it unpatched.
