Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: None: The attacker is unauthorized prior to attack, and therefore does not require any access to settings or files to carry out an attack.
User Interaction: Required: Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires a user to take some action before the vulnerability can be exploited.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the impacted component.
Integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact on the impacted component.
Availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the impacted component are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Exploit Code Maturity: Unproven: No exploit code is available, or an exploit is theoretical.
Remediation Level: Official Fix: A complete vendor solution is available. Either the vendor has issued an official patch, or an upgrade is available.
Report Confidence: Confirmed: Detailed reports exist, or functional reproduction is possible (functional exploits may provide this). Source code is available to independently verify the assertions of the research, or the author or vendor of the affected code has confirmed the presence of the vulnerability.

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Jul 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

Organizations should immediately verify the version of Microsoft Edge deployed and plan to upgrade to a patched version once available from Microsoft. Until patches are released, implement network-level protections such as web filtering and intrusion detection systems to block known phishing and spoofing sites. Educate users about the risks of UI spoofing and train them to recognize suspicious browser behavior and verify URLs carefully before entering credentials or sensitive information. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) to reduce the impact of credential theft resulting from spoofing attacks. Consider deploying endpoint protection solutions that can detect and block malicious scripts or phishing attempts. Monitor network traffic for unusual patterns indicative of phishing campaigns exploiting this vulnerability. Finally, maintain up-to-date threat intelligence feeds to stay informed about any emerging exploits or attack campaigns targeting this vulnerability.

Description

No cwe for this issue in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.

Impact

The primary impact of CVE-2025-47963 is the potential for successful phishing or social engineering attacks due to UI spoofing, which can compromise user trust and lead to credential theft or unauthorized access. Confidentiality is at risk as attackers may trick users into submitting sensitive data to malicious sites. Integrity and availability impacts are lower but still present, as spoofed UI elements could mislead users into executing harmful actions or visiting malicious websites. Organizations relying on Microsoft Edge Chromium version 1.0.0.0, especially in environments where users access sensitive or critical systems, face increased risk of targeted attacks. The medium severity rating reflects that while exploitation is feasible without privileges, user interaction is necessary, somewhat limiting automated exploitation. However, the widespread use of Microsoft Edge and the network-based attack vector mean that a large number of users and organizations globally could be affected if the vulnerability is exploited at scale. This can lead to reputational damage, financial loss, and potential regulatory consequences if sensitive data is compromised.
