WebAuthn prompt spoofing via case-sensitive URI check
Published Sep 16, 2025 · Updated Sep 16, 2025
WebAuthn spoofing in Firefox for Android before 143 allows remote attackers to trigger authentication prompts from crafted links. The Android intent handler compares the blocked fido scheme case-sensitively, so an uppercase FIDO value inside an intent URI bypasses the check and launches the authentication activity. The documented path runs in Firefox for Android; Mozilla also lists Thunderbird before 143 as affected but provides no Thunderbird-specific mechanism.
