CVE-2026-55945 is an improper-synchronization race condition in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based). The condition can be exploited during the interaction between Edge AI agent think and act modes, enabling an authorized local attacker to disclose information. The demonstrated attack chain involved a malicious, ordinarily permissioned browser extension controlling a Microsoft page authorized to prompt Edge AI and exploiting the race to influence the agent.

A medium-severity Microsoft Edge race condition affecting versions before 150.0.4078.48. The BragJack proof of concept races Copilot’s separate prompt-intake and browser-action modes to force execution of an attacker-controlled prompt.
A Microsoft Edge built-in AI-agent prompt-execution issue. The researchers reportedly combined control of a Microsoft marketing page trusted to send Edge AI prompts with a race condition that switched the agent from think mode to act mode, causing it to execute an attacker prompt. It requires a malicious extension already running in the victim's browser.
