Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

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

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

This is a UI spoofing vulnerability in Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) where the browser improperly displays critical information in the user interface, allowing an unauthorized attacker to misrepresent the address bar or other UI elements and perform spoofing attacks over a network.

MitigationEnsure Microsoft Edge is kept updated via automatic updates or patch management; users should verify they are on the latest version of Edge. Consider network-level controls to detect anomalous traffic patterns indicative of spoofing attacks.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Check installed Microsoft Edge version
    Open Microsoft Edge, click the three-dot menu (top right), select Settings, then scroll down and click About Microsoft Edge. The version number will be displayed on this page.
    Affected if The displayed version is lower than 136.0.3240.50
  2. Verify version via Windows settings
    Open Windows Settings, go to Apps > Installed apps, search for Microsoft Edge in the list, and view the version number displayed next to it.
    Affected if The listed version is lower than 136.0.3240.50
  3. Confirm via command line (optional)
    Open Command Prompt or PowerShell and run: powershell "(Get-ItemProperty 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Microsoft Edge').DisplayVersion"
    Affected if The returned version string is lower than 136.0.3240.50

If the installed Microsoft Edge Chromium version is below 136.0.3240.50, the environment is affected by this UI spoofing vulnerability.
