Description Dhananjay Arunesh 2019-01-18 11:56:17 UTC 
embed/ephy-web-view.c in GNOME Web (aka Epiphany) through 3.31.4 allows address
bar spoofing because a page load triggered by JavaScript leads to updating an
address as if it were triggered by a safer visit type (e.g., VISIT_LINK,
VISIT_TYPED, VISIT_BOOKMARK, or VISIT_HOMEPAGE).
