Spoofing via hidden fullscreen notification
Published Feb 4, 2025 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
Improper UI-layer restriction in Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird before 135 allows remote attackers to spoof trusted content. Repeated reportValidity calls from a popup steal focus because popup display omits SWP_NOOWNERZORDER, raising the owner above the fullscreen notification. User interaction is required to enter fullscreen, and the demonstrated consequence is visual spoofing rather than data disclosure or code execution.
