HTTP: Google Chrome Pop-Up Address Bar URI Spoofing

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Google Chrome. Versions prior to Chrome 0.3.154.9 are vulnerable. A successful attack could allow the attacker to spoof the source URI of a file presented to an unsuspecting user in a popup window.

Extended Description

Google Chrome is affected by a URI-spoofing vulnerability because it fails to adequately handle user-supplied data. An attacker may leverage this issue by inserting arbitrary content to spoof the source URI of a file presented to an unsuspecting user in a popup window. This may lead to a false sense of trust because the victim may be presented with a source URI of a trusted site while interacting with the attacker's malicious site. Versions prior to Chrome 0.3.154.9 are vulnerable.
