Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2020-07-10 08:11:06 UTC
By navigating a tab using the history API, an attacker could cause the address bar to display the incorrect domain (with the https:// scheme, a blocked port number such as '1', and without a lock icon) while controlling the page contents. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 70.
