Unauthenticated security feature bypass
Published Jul 3, 2026 · Updated Jul 3, 2026
Improper authorization in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) before 150.0.4078.48 allows remote attackers to bypass a security feature. Microsoft has not disclosed the affected component, the authorization decision, or how network input reaches the faulty check. No privileges or user interaction are required, but exploitation has high complexity and permits confidentiality and integrity compromise without a service interruption.
