UI spoofing via obscured fullscreen notification
Published May 14, 2024 · Updated Nov 26, 2024
UI spoofing in Mozilla Firefox for Android before 126 allows remote attackers to hide fullscreen warnings with crafted web content. A page that enters fullscreen can immediately invoke Android permission or Web Share dialogs, which cover the browser's fullscreen notification while fullscreen remains active. Exploitation requires user interaction with the crafted page and a convincing imitation of Firefox and Android chrome, limiting the consequence to user confusion and spoofing rather than direct data access.
