Mozilla/Firefox user interface spoofing |
||
|
Acertains the version of Mozilla/Firefox Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is using Mozilla and/or Firefox, an alternative web browser. This web browser supports the XUL (XML User Interface Language), a language designed to manipulate the user interface of the browser itself. Since XUL gives the full control of the browser GUI to the visited websites, a possible hacker may use it to spoof a third party website and therefore pretend that the URL and Certificates of the website are legitimate. In addition to this, the remote version of this browser is vulnerable to a flaw which may permit a malicious web site to spoof security properties such as SSL certificates and URIs.
