What happened
A missing authorization check in Chromium’s navigation handling (CVE‑2026‑95287) could allow attackers to force the browser to navigate to arbitrary URLs without user consent.
Impact
Any Chromium‑based browser, including Microsoft Edge, could be tricked into navigating to malicious sites, potentially leading to phishing or drive‑by downloads. The flaw does not grant direct code execution but can be leveraged to bypass user interaction.
What to do
Update Microsoft Edge to the latest version that includes the Chromium patch. Verify that the browser’s version number reflects the recent security update. Monitor for any anomalous navigation behavior in your environment.
