Synopsis

The remote host has an web browser installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Microsoft Edge installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 142.0.3595.66. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the November 6, 2025 advisory.

 - Out of bounds read in WebGPU in Google Chrome on Android prior to 142.0.7444.137 allowed a remote attacker to perform an out of bounds memory write via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2025-12725)

 - Inappropriate implementation in V8 in Google Chrome prior to 142.0.7444.137 allowed a remote attacker to potentially exploit heap corruption via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: High) (CVE-2025-12727)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Microsoft Edge version 142.0.3595.66 or later.
