Cross-site cookie transmission via intent fallback URL
Published Dec 22, 2022 · Updated Apr 15, 2025
SameSite cookie bypass in Mozilla Firefox for Android before 107 allows remote attackers to trigger Strict cookie transmission via intent URLs. The App Links interceptor loads S.browser_fallback_url from an invalid Android intent without marking the navigation as external, so Gecko attaches Strict cookies. A user must visit an attacker-controlled page; the result is a cookie-bearing cross-site request, not direct disclosure of cookie values.
