Privilege elevation via undisclosed race condition
Published Aug 9, 2022 · Updated Jan 2, 2025
Race condition in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) before 104.0.1293.47 allows remote attackers to elevate privileges after user interaction. Microsoft has not published the affected component, shared resource, or concurrent operation that mishandles attacker-influenced state. The attack is unauthenticated over a network but requires user interaction and high-complexity race timing; Microsoft does not identify the privilege boundary crossed.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
