Microsoft Edge (Chromium) < 80.0.361.66 Insufficient Policy Enforcement

high Nessus Plugin ID 138216

Language:

Synopsis

The remote host has an web browser installed that is affected by an insufficient policy enforcement vulnerability.

Description

The version of Microsoft Edge (Chromium) installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 80.0.361.66. It is, therefore, affected by an insufficient policy enforcement vulnerability. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted HTML page, to bypass same-origin policy.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge (Chromium) 80.0.361.66 or later.
