Microsoft Edge users faced a series of serious vulnerabilities spanning remote code execution, information disclosure, and legacy browser compatibility risks. Reported issues included CVE-2025-59251, an Edge remote code execution flaw with limited public technical detail; CVE-2025-29834, an out-of-bounds read in the V8 JavaScript engine affecting versions before 135.0.2789.91; and CVE-2025-49713, a type confusion bug in V8 that reportedly enabled in-the-wild exploitation against Edge versions before 138.0.3351.65. Separately, CVE-2025-49741 was described as an information disclosure issue tied to improper validation of the x-middleware-subrequest HTTP header, potentially exposing cached data and session tokens in versions before 137.0.3296.62.
The disclosures also highlighted risk beyond standard browsing sessions. CVE-2025-30397 affected Microsoft’s Scripting Engine when Edge was used in Internet Explorer Mode, creating an actively exploited path to remote code execution on Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems that still depend on legacy web applications. Microsoft issued updates across the affected products, while defenders were urged to prioritize browser patching, review exposure in Chromium-based deployments, harden JavaScript and web-content controls, and reduce or disable IE Mode where operationally possible. A new advisory from HKCERT on multiple Microsoft Edge vulnerabilities underscores the continuing volume of security issues affecting the browser.

Microsoft has issued security advisories for a long-running series of **remote code execution** vulnerabilities affecting **Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based)**, with disclosures spanning multiple product update cycles. The referenced flaws include `CVE-2021-43221`, `CVE-2022-21929`, `CVE-2022-33636`, `CVE-2022-38012`, `CVE-2023-21775`, `CVE-2023-36008`, `CVE-2023-36022`, `CVE-2023-36034`, `CVE-2024-38210`, `CVE-2024-38219`, `CVE-2024-43496`, `CVE-2024-43578`, `CVE-2024-43596`, `CVE-2024-49023`, `CVE-2025-21408`, `CVE-2025-25000`, `CVE-2025-29834`, and `CVE-2025-60711`, all tracked by Microsoft as Edge RCE issues. The advisories indicate continued patching of browser-exposed attack surface in Edge, including several clusters of RCE fixes released on the same day, suggesting bundled security updates across versions. While the entries provided do not include technical synopses or exploitation details, the repeated publication of Edge RCE bulletins through Microsoft Update Guide and MSRC portal pages shows sustained remediation activity for code-execution bugs that could be triggered through malicious web content or browser processing components, reinforcing the need for rapid browser update deployment across enterprise fleets.

Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) has received fixes for multiple high-severity vulnerabilities, including remote code execution flaws `CVE-2026-58289`, `CVE-2026-58293`, `CVE-2026-58285`, `CVE-2026-58288`, `CVE-2026-57974`, `CVE-2026-58284`, `CVE-2026-58287`, `CVE-2026-57981`, and `CVE-2026-56645`, as well as the security feature bypass issue `CVE-2026-57983`. Public records attribute the issues to Microsoft and rate them from high to critical severity, with CVSS scores reaching **9.0** for `CVE-2026-58289` and several others scoring in the **8.1-8.8** range. Advisories from Microsoft and HKCERT indicate the flaws affect Microsoft Edge and require prompt patching through the browser's latest security updates. While some metadata inconsistently marks the bugs as not remotely exploitable, the listed attack characteristics for several entries include low attack complexity, no privileges required, and in many cases user interaction, making browser update compliance and rapid deployment a priority for enterprise defenders.

Microsoft has published security advisories for a series of **Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) information disclosure vulnerabilities** affecting the browser across multiple release cycles. The referenced issues include `CVE-2021-36929`, `CVE-2023-33145`, `CVE-2023-36880`, `CVE-2023-38158`, `CVE-2024-21423`, `CVE-2024-29987`, `CVE-2024-30056`, `CVE-2024-38103`, `CVE-2024-38222`, `CVE-2024-49025`, and `CVE-2025-49741`, all listed by Microsoft as information disclosure vulnerabilities in the Chromium-based Edge browser. The advisories provide limited public detail, but the volume and recurrence of these CVEs show an ongoing stream of browser security fixes tied to unintended exposure of sensitive information. For defenders, the immediate takeaway is to ensure **Microsoft Edge is kept fully updated** and to track MSRC guidance for affected versions, as browser-based information disclosure bugs can aid reconnaissance, weaken privacy protections, or support follow-on exploitation when chained with other vulnerabilities.
