The version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 109.0.1518.115. It is, therefore, affected by a type confusion vulnerability in v8 as referenced in the June 13, 2023 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the applicationβs self-reported version number.
