The security agency claimed that many types of issues have been seen in the Microsoft web browser and due to this, hackers can access the data. According to the CERT-In bulletin dated October 7, 2024, such issues are seen in Microsoft Edge.
These issues are due to lack of data validation. Attackers can take advantage of these vulnerabilities. This issue was noticed due to layout overflow and poor implementation in V8.
