Phishing via unrestricted custom URL requests
Published Sep 9, 2024 · Updated Mar 13, 2025
Improper authorization in @cosme App for Android before 5.69.0 and iOS before 6.74.0 allows attackers to open arbitrary websites. The custom URL scheme handler accepts a URL request from any application and opens the requested destination without restricting the caller. Exploitation requires user interaction with attacker-controlled content or an application that invokes the scheme, placing the user at risk of phishing.
