Site spoofing via persistent full-screen state
Published Oct 1, 2024 · Updated Nov 22, 2024
Fullscreen spoofing in Mozilla Firefox Focus for Android before 131 allows remote attackers to impersonate sites via a crafted page. Focus restores the crafted page in full-screen after an Android background reload, hides the address bar, and fails to honor the Back action that should exit full-screen. A user must first enable full-screen and later return to the reloaded app; the persistent display can solicit information under a false site identity but does not itself disclose data.
