Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A malicious webpage could interrupt a pending navigation by enqueuing a synchronous JavaScript dialog, causing the browser UI to display the destination origin in the address bar while continuing to render attacker-controlled content. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox for iOS 152.3.
AnalysisAI
Address bar spoofing in Firefox for iOS allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to display a trusted origin in the browser's address bar while the victim views and interacts with fully attacker-controlled content - a classic and effective phishing enabler. The attack exploits a race condition in navigation handling: a malicious page enqueues a synchronous JavaScript dialog at the moment a user navigates away, freezing the address bar on the destination's legitimate origin while the malicious page's content continues to render. No public exploit code has been identified and EPSS is 0.15% (4th percentile), indicating no observed widespread exploitation; however, the technique is conceptually simple and phishing value is high.
Technical ContextAI
CWE-451 (User Interface Misrepresentation of Critical Information) describes failures where the UI presents security-critical state - here, the current origin - in a way that can be made inaccurate. Firefox for iOS relies on the browser chrome (address bar) to communicate trust context to users, a fundamental Web security assumption. The vulnerability arises because synchronous JavaScript dialogs (window.alert, window.confirm, window.prompt) can interrupt the browser's navigation pipeline on iOS. When a pending navigation is in flight and such a dialog is enqueued by the still-active malicious page, Firefox for iOS fails to reconcile its visual address bar state with the actual rendered document origin, displaying the destination origin prematurely while still serving attacker-controlled markup. No CPE string was provided in the intelligence feed, but the affected product is Mozilla Firefox for iOS (distinct from Firefox on Android or desktop platforms) running on Apple iOS devices, fixed in version 152.3.
RemediationAI
Update Firefox for iOS to version 152.3 or later via the Apple App Store; this is the vendor-released patch confirmed in Mozilla Security Advisory MFSA2026-65 (https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2026-65/). No workaround fully mitigates the vulnerability short of patching, because the flaw is in the browser's core navigation and dialog handling logic. As a compensating control while patching, users can disable JavaScript on untrusted sites via Firefox for iOS's per-site settings, which prevents synchronous dialog enqueuing - however, this breaks broad website functionality and is not suitable as a general posture. Organizations managing iOS fleets via MDM can enforce browser version compliance policies to ensure 152.3 is deployed promptly.
