FAQ

According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to some loss of integrity (I:L)? What does that mean for this vulnerability? The attacker is only able to change the content of the autofill box that overlaps an error message on a crafted malicious website. The modified information is only visual. What is the version information for this release? Microsoft Edge Version Date Released Based on Chromium Version 108.0.1462.41 12/5/2022 108.0.5359.94 According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do? In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerability. However, an attacker would have no way to force the user to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince the user to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince the user to open the specially crafted file.
