Origin spoofing via stalled cross-origin popup navigation
Published Aug 31, 2026 · Updated Aug 31, 2026
Origin spoofing in Mozilla Firefox for iOS before 155.0 allows remote attackers to display attacker-controlled content under a trusted origin. After a popup commits a cross-origin navigation, a malicious page can stall the transition so the address bar adopts the destination origin while the popup keeps rendering the attacker's document. Exploitation requires a user to open the malicious page and popup; the demonstrated consequence is UI deception that can support phishing, not reported code execution or direct data access.
