Remote code execution via undisclosed type confusion
Published Feb 6, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Type confusion in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) before 133.0.3065.51 allows remote attackers to execute code via crafted web content. Microsoft identifies CWE-843 but has not disclosed the affected component or the incompatible-type operation that processes the content. Exploitation requires a user to open the crafted content; no authentication is required, and successful exploitation executes code.
