CVE-2025-47967 is a medium-severity vulnerability identified in the Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser for Android (version 1.0.0.0). The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-357, which refers to insufficient user interface warnings for dangerous operations. Specifically, this flaw allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing attacks over a network by exploiting the insufficient UI warnings in Microsoft Edge. Spoofing in this context means that an attacker can deceive users by presenting misleading or fraudulent UI elements, potentially tricking them into performing unintended actions or disclosing sensitive information. The vulnerability does not require any privileges or prior authentication (PR:N), but it does require user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking or engaging with the spoofed content. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), meaning an attacker can exploit this remotely without physical access. The scope is changed (S:C), indicating that the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component, potentially impacting other components or user data. The impact is limited to integrity (I:L) with no direct confidentiality or availability impact. The CVSS score of 4.7 reflects a medium severity level, suggesting moderate risk. No known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches have been linked yet. This vulnerability highlights a UI design flaw where the browser fails to adequately warn users about dangerous operations, increasing the risk of social engineering and phishing attacks through deceptive UI elements on Android devices running Microsoft Edge Chromium-based browser.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-47967 primarily revolves around the risk of social engineering and spoofing attacks targeting employees using Microsoft Edge on Android devices. Such attacks could lead to unauthorized actions performed by users under false pretenses, potentially resulting in data integrity issues, unauthorized transactions, or exposure to further malware infections. While confidentiality and availability impacts are not directly indicated, the integrity compromise can cascade into broader security incidents, especially if attackers leverage spoofed UI to gain further footholds or credentials. Organizations with mobile workforces or BYOD policies that include Microsoft Edge on Android are particularly at risk. The vulnerability could be exploited in phishing campaigns or man-in-the-middle scenarios over untrusted networks, common in public Wi-Fi environments. Given the widespread use of Microsoft Edge in corporate environments and the increasing reliance on mobile devices, this vulnerability could facilitate targeted attacks against European enterprises, especially those in finance, government, and critical infrastructure sectors where data integrity is paramount.

To mitigate CVE-2025-47967, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Enforce strict mobile device management (MDM) policies that restrict installation of unapproved browsers and ensure Microsoft Edge is updated promptly once patches are released. 2) Educate users about the risks of spoofing attacks and train them to recognize suspicious UI elements and avoid interacting with untrusted links or prompts, especially on mobile devices. 3) Deploy network security controls such as VPNs and secure Wi-Fi access to reduce exposure to man-in-the-middle attacks that could facilitate spoofing over the network. 4) Monitor network traffic for anomalies indicative of spoofing or phishing attempts targeting mobile browsers. 5) Until an official patch is available, consider temporarily restricting or limiting the use of Microsoft Edge on Android for high-risk user groups or sensitive operations. 6) Collaborate with Microsoft support channels to obtain early access to patches or mitigations and test them in controlled environments before wide deployment. 7) Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) for critical systems to reduce the impact of potential spoofing-induced credential compromise. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on mobile device usage, user awareness, network security, and proactive patch management tailored to this specific UI warning vulnerability.
