Exploitation Conditions

User interaction is required - the victim must actively navigate to or interact with attacker-controlled content in Microsoft Edge for Android (UI:R in the CVSS vector). No authentication or prior account access is required by the attacker (PR:N). Exploitation is limited to Microsoft Edge for Android installations running versions below 148.0.3967.55; other Edge variants are not listed as affected. The attack is not automatable per SSVC, meaning the attacker cannot trigger the vulnerability without user engagement. Exploitation is further constrained by the need to deliver a convincing pretext to induce the victim to follow a malicious link.

Impact

The CVSS base score of 4.3 (Medium) reflects a network-exploitable flaw with no privilege requirement (PR:N) and low complexity (AC:L), but the mandatory user interaction (UI:R) and limited scope (S:U, C:L only) substantially reduce severity. EPSS at 0.06% places this vulnerability in the 18th percentile - well below the threshold that typically warrants emergency response. SSVC corroborates this: exploitation status is 'none', the attack is not automatable (consistent with UI:R), and technical impact is only 'partial'. No CISA KEV listing and no public exploit code have been identified at time of analysis. Overall, this is a genuine but low-priority vulnerability - the CVSS score is a fair representation of theoretical risk, but EPSS and SSVC both signal negligible real-world exploitation activity. Mobile browser update cadence via app stores typically makes remediation straightforward.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious webpage that causes Microsoft Edge for Android's UI to misrepresent the page's origin or security status - for example, displaying a trusted domain name in the address bar while serving attacker-controlled content. A victim who follows a link to this page (via phishing email, SMS, or social media) may be deceived into entering credentials or trusting content they believe originates from a legitimate site. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, making opportunistic mass exploitation unlikely.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jul 23, 2026

Spoofing in Microsoft Edge for Android versions below 148.0.3967.55 allows a network-based attacker to misrepresent critical security UI elements - such as page origin indicators or certificate status - to users who interact with attacker-controlled content, classified under CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information). Impact is limited to confidentiality (C:L) with no integrity or availability consequences per the CVSS vector, and exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R). With EPSS at 0.06% (18th percentile), SSVC exploitation status of none, and no CISA KEV listing, real-world exploitation risk is low despite the network-accessible, unauthenticated attack vector.

RemediationAI

Update Microsoft Edge for Android to version 148.0.3967.55 or later, available through the Google Play Store or enterprise mobile device management channels. The vendor patch is confirmed available per the Microsoft Security Response Center advisory at https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-2026-35429. As a compensating control where immediate update is not possible, organizations can restrict browsing to managed in-app browsers or enforce MDM policies that prevent navigation to untrusted domains; however, this trades usability for risk reduction and does not address the underlying flaw. Additional context is available at https://vuldb.com/vuln/363262.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-451 describes failures where a UI does not accurately convey security-critical information to the user, enabling deception about the true origin, identity, or trustworthiness of content. In the context of Microsoft Edge for Android (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:microsoft:microsoft_edge_for_android), this likely manifests as a flaw in how the browser renders or displays address bar content, security indicators, or certificate details when processing crafted network content. Browser spoofing vulnerabilities in this class typically exploit inconsistencies between what the layout engine displays and what the actual loaded resource is, allowing a malicious page to impersonate a trusted origin. The 'Authentication Bypass' and 'Microsoft/Google' tags suggest the spoofing may be relevant to credential or identity contexts on the Android platform.
