4.3

Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: K-Meleon version 1.5.3

Description: The issue allows context-dependent attackers to spoof the address bar. This can be achieved via window.open with a relative URI, to show an arbitrary file: URL after a victim has visited any file: URL. For example, this could be demonstrated by a visit to a file: document written by the attacker.

Recommendations: For K-Meleon version 1.5.3, consider restricting the use of window.open with relative URIs to minimize the risk of address bar spoofing until a patch is available.
