CVE-2025-47967 is a vulnerability categorized under CWE-357, which pertains to insufficient user interface warnings for dangerous operations. Specifically, this issue affects Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) on Android devices, version 1.0.0.0. The vulnerability arises because the browser does not adequately alert users when potentially dangerous operations are initiated, allowing an attacker on the same network to perform spoofing attacks. Spoofing here refers to deceiving the user by presenting misleading UI elements or information, causing them to perform unintended actions or trust malicious content. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requiring no privileges (PR:N) but does require user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning 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 CVSS score is 4.7, reflecting a medium severity level. No known exploits have been reported, and no patches are currently available. The vulnerability highlights a UI design flaw that can be exploited for social engineering or phishing-like attacks within the browser environment on Android devices. Since the vulnerability affects a widely used browser on a popular mobile platform, it has a broad potential attack surface, especially in environments where users rely heavily on mobile browsing and may be less vigilant about UI inconsistencies.

For European organizations, this vulnerability primarily threatens the integrity of user interactions within Microsoft Edge on Android devices. Attackers could exploit the insufficient UI warnings to conduct spoofing attacks, potentially leading users to disclose sensitive information, execute unintended commands, or trust malicious websites or content. While confidentiality and availability are not directly impacted, the integrity compromise can facilitate further attacks such as credential theft or malware installation through social engineering. Organizations with mobile workforces or BYOD policies that include Android devices running Microsoft Edge are at increased risk. The medium severity score indicates a moderate risk, but the real-world impact depends on user awareness and the presence of additional security controls. The lack of a patch means organizations must rely on interim mitigations. The vulnerability could be leveraged in targeted attacks against sectors with high mobile usage, such as finance, government, and critical infrastructure, potentially leading to reputational damage and operational disruptions if exploited.

1. Educate users about the risks of spoofing and the importance of scrutinizing UI elements and warnings within the browser, especially on mobile devices. 2. Encourage users to avoid performing sensitive operations on public or untrusted networks where spoofing attacks are more feasible. 3. Implement network security controls such as VPNs and secure Wi-Fi configurations to reduce exposure to network-based attacks. 4. Monitor network traffic for suspicious activities that could indicate spoofing attempts or man-in-the-middle attacks. 5. Enforce the use of multi-factor authentication (MFA) for critical services accessed via mobile browsers to mitigate the impact of potential credential theft. 6. Stay informed about updates from Microsoft and apply patches promptly once they become available. 7. Consider deploying mobile device management (MDM) solutions to control browser versions and enforce security policies on Android devices. 8. Use browser security features such as site isolation and strict content security policies where possible to limit the impact of spoofed content.
