The version of Microsoft Edge installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 118.0.2088.76. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 27, 2023 advisory.

  • Use after free in Profiles in Google Chrome prior to 118.0.5993.117 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-5472)

  • Use After Free vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2023-44323)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
