| Detailed Description |
The Hotfix (MS16-038, 3148532) for 'Cumulative Security Update for Microsoft Edge' has not been applied.
This security update resolves vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge. The most severe of the vulnerabilities could allow remote code execution if a user views a specially crafted webpage using Microsoft Edge. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could gain the same user rights as the current user. Customers whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users with administrative user rights.
Multiple Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities
Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist when Microsoft Edge improperly accesses objects in memory. The vulnerabilities could corrupt memory that enables an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user.
Microsoft Edge Elevation of Privilege - CVE-2016-0158
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge does not properly enforce cross-domain policies, which could allow an attacker to access information from one domain and inject it into another domain. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website in an attempt to exploit the vulnerability.
Microsoft Edge Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability ? CVE-2016-0161
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when Microsoft Edge does not properly validate JavaScript under specific conditions, potentially allowing a script to be run with elevated privileges. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website in an attempt to exploit this vulnerability.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
