UC Browser for Android Vulnerable to URL Spoofing Attacks

The latest versions of UC Browser and UC Browser Mini Android apps expose their users to URL spoofing attacks. Attackers can change the URL displayed in the address bar of a web browser to trick their targets into thinking the loaded website is controlled by a trusted party. Unaware targets can be led to domains they control and camouflaging them as high-profile websites allowing potential attackers to steal their victims’ information using phishing landing pages or to drop malware on their computers via malvertising campaigns. UCWeb hasn’t yet issued a patch even though the issue was responsibly disclosed by a security researcher on April 30, 2019.
