Microsoft patched two bugs in its Chromium-based Edge browser last week, one of which could be used by an attacker to bypass security and to remotely inject and execute arbitrary code on any website just by sending a message. The flaw stems from a universal cross-site scripting issue that's triggered when automatically translating web pages using the Edge browser's built-in Microsoft Translator feature: a feature through which the browser automatically prompts users to translate a webpage when the page is in a language other than those listed under the user's preferred languages in settings.
Microsoft last week rolled out updates for the Edge browser with fixes for two security issues, one of which concerns a security bypass vulnerability that could be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary code in the context of any website. Tracked as CVE-2021-34506, the weakness stems from a universal cross-site scripting issue that's triggered when automatically translating web pages using the browser's built-in feature via Microsoft Translator.
