Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based): Access of Resource Using Incompatible Type
CVE-2026-58285 is a high-severity access of resource using incompatible type vulnerability in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) from Microsoft, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 8.3 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, but only if a user takes part, for example by opening a link or file. The record lists version 150.0.4078.48 as the first without the flaw, so updating Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.61% chance of exploitation within 30 days, which is low compared with other CVEs.
High severity with no evidence of exploitation so far.
What to do
- Update Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) to 150.0.4078.48 or a later version.
- Update Edge Chromium to 150.0.4078.48 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on msrc.microsoft.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.
- Because the attack needs a user to take part, warn users about unexpected links and files related to this product until it is patched.
