But currently nothing can be retrieved under ADV200002 (at least not while writing this blog post, an undefined one appears). But the GErman colleagues from deskmodder.de and it-blogger.net have given some hints in their posts.
According to it-blogger.net, Microsoft has closed two vulnerabilities in Microsoft Edge that are rated as high. In the blog post Chrome 83.0.4103.116 with security fixes released I mentioned the Use after free vulnerability CVE-2020-6509 in extensions (see also the Chromium page here).
The update to version 83.0.478.56 is based on version 83.0.4103.116 of Chromium and can be downloaded from Microsoft now. At it-blogger.net you can find the direct download links.
