Origin spoofing via end-truncated address-bar URLs
Published Aug 19, 2025 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
URL spoofing in Firefox for Android before 141 allows remote attackers to misrepresent a page's origin with a crafted long URL. The address bar truncates URLs from the end rather than preserving the hostname, allowing a long prefix to push the true origin out of view. The flaw affects the Android address bar only; it provides visual origin spoofing rather than direct data access or code execution.
