Security Summary
CVE-2025-0244 is a vulnerability in Mozilla Firefox on Android operating systems, where redirecting to an invalid protocol scheme allows an attacker to spoof the address bar. This issue stems from CWE-601 (URL Redirection to Untrusted Site) and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N), indicating medium severity with low confidentiality impact. Other operating systems are unaffected, and the vulnerability was addressed in Firefox version 134.
Remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication or user interaction by crafting a malicious redirect to an invalid protocol scheme, tricking users into believing they are visiting a different site than intended. Successful exploitation enables address bar spoofing, potentially facilitating phishing attacks by misleading users about the current webpage's origin and compromising confidentiality through deceptive navigation.
Mozilla's security advisory (MFSA 2025-01) and Bugzilla entry (ID 1929584) confirm the fix in Firefox 134, recommending users update to this version or later to mitigate the issue. No workarounds are specified in the provided references.
