CVE-2025-47967 is classified under CWE-357, indicating insufficient user interface warnings for dangerous operations in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) on Android devices. The vulnerability arises because the browser fails to provide adequate visual indicators or warnings when users perform potentially dangerous operations, which can be exploited by an unauthorized attacker over a network to conduct spoofing attacks. Spoofing here refers to deceiving users into believing they are interacting with legitimate content or operations when in fact they are not, potentially leading to unintended actions or data manipulation. The CVSS 3.1 score of 4.7 (medium) reflects that the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requires no privileges (PR:N), but does require user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact is limited to integrity (I:L) with no confidentiality or availability impact. The exploitability is rated as unchanged (E:U), with official remediation (RL:O) and confirmed report confidence (RC:C). The affected version is specifically Microsoft Edge 1.0.0.0 for Android, and no patches or known exploits are currently available. The vulnerability highlights a UI design flaw where the browser does not sufficiently warn users about risky operations, increasing the risk of social engineering and spoofing attacks that could mislead users into performing harmful actions.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a moderate risk primarily through social engineering and spoofing attacks targeting employees using Microsoft Edge on Android devices. While it does not directly compromise confidentiality or availability, the integrity of user actions can be undermined, potentially leading to unauthorized transactions, data manipulation, or installation of malicious content if users are deceived. Sectors with high reliance on mobile browsing, such as finance, healthcare, and government, could face increased risks of targeted phishing campaigns exploiting this UI weakness. The network-based attack vector means that attackers could exploit this vulnerability remotely, especially on unsecured or public Wi-Fi networks common in urban European environments. The lack of patches increases exposure until Microsoft releases a fix. However, the requirement for user interaction limits automated exploitation, making user awareness and training critical. The vulnerability could also be leveraged in multi-stage attacks where spoofing is a preliminary step to more severe compromises.

1. Immediately educate users about the risk of spoofing attacks and the importance of verifying UI elements before performing sensitive operations in Microsoft Edge on Android. 2. Encourage the use of secure and trusted networks, avoiding public or unsecured Wi-Fi when accessing sensitive information. 3. Implement mobile device management (MDM) policies to restrict installation of untrusted applications and enforce security configurations on Android devices. 4. Monitor network traffic for suspicious activities that could indicate spoofing or man-in-the-middle attempts. 5. Regularly check for and apply Microsoft Edge updates as soon as patches addressing this vulnerability become available. 6. Consider deploying browser security extensions or tools that enhance phishing detection and UI integrity verification. 7. For critical environments, evaluate alternative browsers with stronger UI warning mechanisms until the vulnerability is patched. 8. Conduct phishing simulation exercises to raise awareness and test user response to spoofing attempts. 9. Collaborate with IT security teams to implement anomaly detection systems that can flag unusual user behaviors potentially linked to spoofing exploitation.
