"The version of Microsoft Edge installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 148.0.3967.55. It is, therefore, affected
by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the May 11, 2026 advisory.

  - Insufficient validation of untrusted input in Media in Google Chrome on Android prior to 148.0.7778.96
    allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to potentially perform a sandbox escape
    via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2026-7905)

  - External control of file name or path in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker
    to disclose information over a network. (CVE-2026-41107)

  - User interface (ui) misrepresentation of critical information in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an
    unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network. (CVE-2026-40416, CVE-2026-42891)

  - Improper neutralization of special elements in output used by a downstream component ('injection') in
    Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.
    (CVE-2026-42838)

  - Use after free in Mobile in Google Chrome on iOS prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker who
    convinced a user to engage in specific UI gestures to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML page.
    (Chromium security severity: Critical) (CVE-2026-7897)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
