CVE-2026-50521 is a high-severity use-after-free vulnerability in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based). The flaw can be triggered over the network and may allow code execution in the context of the affected browser process. Available reporting identifies the issue as a memory-safety error consistent with dereferencing or reusing freed memory, which can lead to memory corruption and attacker-controlled execution flow. The vulnerability affects Microsoft Edge releases prior to the patched versions identified by Microsoft, including builds before 149.0.4022.98.
