Microsoft Edge flaw lets attackers run code remotely

19h agoVia MicrosoftWritten for Lucame clients

A vulnerability has been found in Microsoft Edge, the Chromium-based browser that ships with Windows. The flaw involves a type of memory handling error that lets an attacker run their own code on a target machine across a network, without needing physical access. It's the kind of vulnerability that can be exploited silently, so users may not notice anything is wrong.

What this means for your business

If your staff use Edge day-to-day, this needs attention. Microsoft will issue a patch through the normal update process, so the practical step is to make sure Edge is set to update automatically and that updates aren't being deferred. If you're unsure whether your devices are current, get in touch and we'll check.
