CVE-2020-4809

Local web-page disclosure via cacheable responses

Published Sep 23, 2021 · Updated Sep 16, 2024

Information disclosure in IBM Edge 4.2 allows local users on the system to read web pages stored by another account. Cacheable HTTPS responses are stored locally without preventing cross-user access to the cached pages. Access requires local system presence, and the demonstrated consequence is confidentiality loss without integrity or availability impact.
