Microsoft Edge (Chromium-Based) Multiple Vulnerabilities (Feb 2022). This host is missing an important security update according to Microsoft Edge (Chromium-Based) updates. Multiple flaws are due to improper handling of exceptional conditions, unsafe deserialization in the main YAML configuration file, and elevation of privilege vulnerability. Successful exploitation will allow an attacker to elevate privileges and cause tampering on an affected system
