It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-28261 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Edge Chromium. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28261/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28261/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28261","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28261/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28261","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q54w-3c98-xjcg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Edge browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit this vulnerability in Microsoft Edge to elevate privileges on the affected system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"edge_chromium","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28261","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:edge_chromium","products":["microsoft:edge_chromium"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28262"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":".NET DLL Hijacking Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28260"},"products":["Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based)","Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Extended Stable"],"published":"2023-04-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21326","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-26"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-35618","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-07"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-36735","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-15"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-33649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-58289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69486","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-85893","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-02-28","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit this vulnerability in Microsoft Edge to elevate privileges on the affected system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28261/"}
