Re: [FD] Google Chrome Address Spoofing (Request For Comment)

[Mustafa Al-Bassam <mus@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's pretty neat. Played around with this and made a few discoveries.

1. It shows a valid certificate when you spoof HTTPS sites. That's really bad. 
POC/screenshot: https://github.com/musalbas/address-spoofing-poc

2. The page isn't responsive when using this flaw. That means you can't spoof a 
login box for example. (I tried.)

3. The success of the exploit seems to depend on if the browser can start 
loading content.html fast enough. I noticed that the exploit works 100% of the 
time when used locally. Perhaps a better version of the exploit would somehow 
preload content.html - for example by opening a window with an URL that starts 
with javascript: followed by a script to display the content? That, or perhaps 
reducing the interval time for trying to run next() after the popup is created.

I wonder if this works on any other browsers?
