DescriptionNVD

User interface (ui) misrepresentation of critical information in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) allows an unauthorized attacker to perform spoofing over a network.

AnalysisAI

UI misrepresentation in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) prior to version 150.0.4078.48 enables network-based spoofing attacks against users who interact with attacker-controlled web content. The browser fails to accurately present critical security information - such as origin indicators, security status, or authentication prompts - allowing an unauthenticated remote attacker to deceive victims into believing they are interacting with a trusted source. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Send victim phishing link or embed malicious iframe
Delivery
Victim loads attacker-controlled web content in Edge
Exploit
Browser UI misrepresents critical security information
Execution
Victim trusts falsified origin or auth prompt
Persist
Victim submits credentials or grants permissions
Impact
Attacker harvests data or gains unauthorized access

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires a victim using Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) below version 150.0.4078.48 to actively navigate to or load content from an attacker-controlled web resource (UI:R in the CVSS vector). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.4 (Medium) reflects a network-accessible, low-complexity attack requiring no privileges but mandating user interaction (UI:R), with limited confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker hosts a malicious or compromised webpage that triggers the UI misrepresentation flaw, causing Edge to display falsified security indicators - such as a spoofed origin, fabricated padlock status, or a fake authentication prompt - while the user believes they are on a legitimate site. The victim, misled by the browser's UI, submits credentials or grants permissions to the attacker-controlled page. …
Remediation The primary fix is to update Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) to version 150.0.4078.48 or later, as confirmed by the Microsoft Security Response Center at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-45488. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
