Title: Mozilla Browser/Firefox Chrome Window Spoofing Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Mozilla and Firefox browsers are prone to a window-spoofing vulnerability. When the browsers create windows, an error occurs that attackers can exploit by opening a new window from a reference to a closed window to create a blank 'chrome' canvas. The resulting window is missing certain security mechanisms designed to protect against phishing attacks, such as the address bar and the status bar.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to enhance phishing-style attacks.
