Microsoft has fixed a vulnerability in the Edge browser that could be abused against older versions to steal local files from a user's computer.

The good news is that social engineering is involved in exploiting the flaw, meaning the attack cannot be automated at scale, and, hence, present a smaller level of danger to end users.
