The version of Microsoft Edge installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 118.0.2088.76. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the October 27, 2023 advisory.
Use after free in Profiles in Google Chrome prior to 118.0.5993.117 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2023-5472)
Use After Free vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker could leverage this vulnerability to achieve an application denial-of-service in the context of the current user. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must open a malicious file. (CVE-2023-44323)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
