UI spoofing via oversized fullscreen prompt
Published Jun 2, 2023 · Updated Jan 9, 2025
UI-layer spoofing in Mozilla Firefox for Android before 111 allows remote attackers to obscure the fullscreen notice with a crafted prompt. The prompt opens in a separate Android window above the app layout and expands to nearly all available space when its attacker-controlled description is long. User interaction is required to enter fullscreen and invoke the prompt; the obscured indicator enables a page to imitate trusted browser chrome.
