What to check
- Applies to
- The 4 CVEs named below. Whether you run an affected version is not assessed: check the versions the source lists.
- Exploitation
- No exploitation in the wild and no public exploit is recorded for the CVEs named.
CERT-FR has published an advisory covering multiple vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge affecting versions 156.x prior to 156.0.4314.42 and versions prior to 149.0.4022.62. The flaws, tracked as CVE-2026-20942, CVE-2026-62765, CVE-2026-88078, and CVE-2026-96196, could allow an attacker to achieve remote arbitrary code execution and bypass security policy controls within the browser.
No evidence of active in-the-wild exploitation is mentioned in the advisory. CERT-FR recommends organizations refer to the official Microsoft security bulletins for each CVE to obtain and apply the relevant patches. This is a routine vendor patch advisory rather than a report of an active campaign.

What this brief leaves out
This page is the free tier: the write-up, the severity, the names. In the app the same report carries live profiles of the CVEs it names. The paid plans add the security research and news reporting the free tier leaves out.
It sits in a corpus of 16,436 reports from 149 sources, 661 of them written in the last seven days, and it grows through the day.
A new account starts with three days of all of it, no card, then keeps the government and CERT reporting free. Slack alerts are a paid-plan feature: name the vendors you run and Slack hears about the reports that touch them, not the rest of the week's. Nothing is charged unless you subscribe.
