CVE-2025-62224: CWE-451: User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information in Microsoft Microsoft Edge for Android
User interface (ui) misrepresentation of critical information in Microsoft Edge for Android allows an authorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-62224 is a vulnerability classified under CWE-451, indicating user interface misrepresentation of critical information in Microsoft Edge for Android version 1.0.0. This flaw allows an authorized attacker—meaning one with some level of access or privileges—to conduct UI spoofing attacks over a network. UI spoofing involves deceiving users by presenting false or misleading interface elements, potentially causing them to take unsafe actions such as entering credentials or approving malicious transactions. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 5.5 (medium), reflecting that the attack vector is network-based (AV:N), with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring privileges (PR:L) and user interaction (UI:R). The scope remains unchanged (S:U), and the impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability is low (C:L, I:L, A:L). The vulnerability does not currently have known exploits in the wild, and no patches have been published yet. The flaw could be exploited in scenarios where an attacker can intercept or manipulate network traffic or leverage existing privileges to inject spoofed UI elements, potentially tricking users into divulging sensitive information or performing unintended actions. Since the affected product is Microsoft Edge for Android, the vulnerability primarily impacts mobile users on the Android platform using this browser. The absence of patches means organizations must rely on interim mitigations until official fixes are released.
Potential Impact
The vulnerability can lead to user deception through UI spoofing, which may result in unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, such as credentials or personal data, if users are tricked into interacting with spoofed interface elements. Integrity could be compromised if users unknowingly approve malicious actions believing them to be legitimate. Availability impact is minimal but possible if the spoofing leads to denial of service or disruption of normal browser functions. The requirement for privileges and user interaction limits the ease of exploitation, but attackers with network access and some level of authorization could still leverage this flaw for targeted phishing or social engineering attacks. Organizations with mobile workforces using Microsoft Edge for Android are at risk of increased phishing success rates and potential data breaches. The medium severity indicates moderate risk, but the lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate threat levels. However, once exploit code becomes available, the impact could escalate quickly.
Mitigation Recommendations
1. Limit network exposure of devices running Microsoft Edge for Android by enforcing strict network segmentation and VPN usage to reduce attacker access. 2. Educate users about the risk of UI spoofing attacks and encourage vigilance when interacting with browser prompts or unusual interface elements. 3. Implement mobile device management (MDM) policies to restrict installation of unauthorized applications and control browser configurations. 4. Monitor network traffic for anomalies that could indicate manipulation attempts or man-in-the-middle attacks. 5. Apply principle of least privilege to reduce the likelihood that an attacker can gain the required privileges to exploit this vulnerability. 6. Stay alert for official patches or updates from Microsoft and deploy them promptly once available. 7. Consider using alternative browsers or additional security layers (such as browser isolation or endpoint protection) until the vulnerability is resolved. 8. Employ multi-factor authentication (MFA) to mitigate risks from credential theft resulting from spoofing.
