Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires the attacker to get a victim to load a malicious web page in Firefox for iOS and then interact with (confirm) the resulting phone-call prompt - user interaction is mandatory (UI:R). The specific condition is navigation/window handling where a 'tel:' link is opened in a window still showing a different website, causing misattribution of the call prompt's origin. Limiting factors: success depends on the victim trusting the spoofed site and accepting the dial prompt, it is confined to the Firefox for iOS browser prior to version 156.1, and there is no code execution or silent action - the user must actively approve the call, which substantially narrows realistic impact.

Impact

This is a moderate-severity UI spoofing flaw (CWE-451) in Firefox for iOS where a malicious page can open a 'tel:' link in a window still displaying a different site, making the phone-call prompt appear to originate from the trusted site. The input CVSS of 5.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation but requires user interaction. All real-world exploitation signals point low: EPSS is 0.21% (11th percentile), the SSVC framework records Exploitation=none, Automatable=no, and Technical Impact=partial, and there is no CISA KEV listing and no public exploit identified. The vuln.today priority label is 'this_month' rather than act_now/emergency, consistent with these signals. The impact is social-engineering/deception rather than code execution or data theft - the worst case is tricking a user into placing a phone call they believe a trusted site requested. One mild inconsistency: the supplied CVSS assigns C:L and A:L, yet the described mechanism is pure UI spoofing with no clear confidentiality read or availability loss, so those sub-scores appear generous relative to the description. Net: a legitimate low-to-moderate priority fix, not an urgent emergency.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A user visits a malicious web page while another trusted site is displayed in an adjacent or recently-navigated window; the malicious page triggers a 'tel:' link so the phone-call confirmation prompt appears attributed to the trusted site. The victim, believing the reputable site initiated it, confirms and dials an attacker-chosen number (e.g., a premium-rate or social-engineering line). No public exploit code has been identified; exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R) and depends on the victim trusting the spoofed origin.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

UI spoofing in Firefox for iOS before version 156.1 lets a malicious page open a 'tel:' link inside a window that is still displaying a different website, so the phone-call confirmation prompt appears to come from that trusted site. The attacker must first lure the victim into loading the malicious page and then persuade them to approve the dial prompt, so no silent action or code execution occurs; the assessed impact is integrity-only with no confidentiality or availability loss. Mozilla fixed the issue in Firefox for iOS 156.1 (MFSA2026-117); no public exploit code is identified and EPSS is low at 0.21%, with CISA SSVC rating exploitation as none.

RemediationAI

Upgrade Firefox for iOS to version 156.1 or later, the release named in Mozilla's MFSA2026-117 advisory (https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-117/); updating is the complete fix per the vendor. Where immediate updating is not possible, users should treat phone-call prompts originating from a page they did not intend to dial from with suspicion and dismiss them, since the flaw only manifests when the victim accepts the dial prompt - declining the prompt prevents the spoof from having any effect. Because the issue is confined to origin misattribution of the 'tel:' prompt and requires the user to actively confirm the call, no server-side or network control mitigates it; the affected population is mobile app users who must obtain the update through the App Store.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause class is CWE-451 (User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information). Firefox for iOS, Mozilla's WebKit-based browser for Apple's mobile platform, handles 'tel:' URI scheme navigation by raising a system phone-call prompt; the flaw is in how that prompt is bound to the originating window context. When a malicious page triggers a tel link while a window still renders another site, the prompt's displayed origin can be misattributed to the unrelated site. The CPE entry (cpe:2.3:a:mozilla:firefox_for_ios) confirms the affected component is the browser application itself across all pre-156.1 builds, not an underlying Apple WebKit library. The assessed vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R indicates the attack is delivered over the network with no credentials required, but user interaction (confirming the call prompt) is a hard prerequisite, which is why the realistic impact is limited to spoofed-origin integrity rather than data exposure.
