CVE-2026-45488

FAQ

According to the CVSS metric, the attack complexity is high (AC:H). What does that mean for this vulnerability?

The attacker must correctly craft convincing spoofed UI chrome, time the full-screen entry, and rely on user perception. While the exploit triggers reliably after a gesture, successful deception depends on careful social engineering and realistic mimicking of browser UI.

According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do?

The user would need to click on a specially crafted URL that could present a popup box requesting additional user input.

How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability via the Network?

An attacker could host a specially crafted website designed to exploit the vulnerability through Microsoft Edge and then convince a user to view the website. However, in all cases an attacker would have no way to force a user to view the attacker-controlled content. Instead, an attacker would have to convince a user to take action, typically by an enticement in an email or instant message, or by getting the user to open an attachment sent through email.
