- URL Address Bar Spoofing in F-Secure SAFE Browser for iOS
Summary
An URL Address bar spoofing vulnerability was discovered in Safe Browser for iOS. When user clicks on a specially crafted a malicious URL, if user does not carefully pay attention to url, user may be tricked to think content may be coming from a valid domain, while it comes from another.

The fix is, browser no longer shows the user name part in address bar.
