Microsoft Edge Channel Microsoft Edge Version Based on Chromium Version Date Released Stable 117.0.2045.31 117.0.5938.62/.63 9/15/2023 According to the CVSS metrics, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to minor loss of confidentiality (C:L), integrity (I:L) and availability (A:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability? While we cannot rule out the impact to Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability, the ability to exploit this vulnerability by itself is limited. An attacker would need to combine this with other vulnerabilities to perform an attack. Why is the severity for this CVE rated as Moderate, but the CVSS score is higher than normal? Per our severity guidelines, the amount of user interaction or preconditions required to allow this sort of exploitation downgraded the severity, specifically it says, "If a bug requires more than a click, a key press, or several preconditions, the severity will be downgraded". The CVSS scoring system doesn't allow for this type of nuance. According to the CVSS metric, a successful exploitation could lead to a scope change (S:C). What does this mean for this vulnerability? This vulnerability could lead to a browser sandbox escape. According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R). What interaction would the user have to do? Exploitation of the vulnerability requires that a user open a specially crafted file. In an email attack scenario, an attacker could exploit the vulnerability by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario, an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) containing a specially crafted file designed to exploit the vulnerability.
