The version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 109.0.1518.95. It is, therefore, affected by a use after free vulnerability in Prompts as referenced in the March 23, 2023 advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
