If you use Microsoft Edge as your main browser, it’s worth checking whether you’re running the latest version. Microsoft has released Edge version 150.0.4078.83, which fixes a long list of security vulnerabilities that could leave users exposed if left unpatched.
According to a newly published security bulletin, the update addresses multiple vulnerabilities that affect earlier versions of Edge. Some of the flaws could potentially allow attackers to run malicious code on a victim’s device, while others could be abused to cause crashes, bypass security protections, expose sensitive information, or manipulate data.
The advisory doesn’t mention any evidence that these vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild. Even so, browser updates like this are usually worth installing sooner rather than later since web browsers are one of the most common ways attackers try to target users.
This isn’t the first security update Edge has received this month. Earlier in July, Microsoft shipped another patch that fixed several vulnerabilities in the browser. We covered that release when version 150.0.4078.48 rolled out, so if you skipped that update as well, it’s a good time to make sure you’re fully up to date.
The bulletin lists more than 20 CVEs, including issues tracked as CVE-2026-15764 through CVE-2026-15778, along with CVE-2026-15899 to CVE-2026-15905 and CVE-2026-57980. For most users, the individual CVE numbers aren’t especially important. What matters is that the latest browser version includes fixes for all of them.
You can check your current version by opening Edge, selecting Settings, then About Microsoft Edge. The browser will automatically look for updates and install them if one is available. You’ll usually just need to restart the browser to finish the process.
Besides the vulnerability patches, Edge is also cooking up other privacy features. Earlier today, we highlighted that Microsoft recently introduced a feature that prevents screenshots of protected PDF documents stored in OneDrive and SharePoint, making Edge the first major browser to offer that capability.
Security updates have become a regular part of using any modern browser, whether it’s Edge, Chrome, or Firefox. Installing them promptly is one of the easiest ways to reduce your risk online, especially when they include fixes for remote code execution and other high-impact vulnerabilities.
Interestingly, all of this comes just days after we covered a Mozilla-commissioned report claiming Microsoft still uses various tactics to steer Windows users toward Edge instead of competing browsers. You can read that report here.
Regardless of which side of that debate you’re on, keeping your browser updated remains the most important step.
