Address bar spoofing via long hostnames
Published Jan 11, 2025 · Updated May 20, 2026
Origin validation error in Firefox for iOS before 134 allows remote attackers to spoof the displayed address using a long hostname. Mozilla has not disclosed the affected address-bar formatting routine; the client displays a long URL so its true host is obscured. A user must open the crafted URL and trust the address display, enabling a malicious page to appear associated with a different site.
