Firefox Phishing Protection Bypass Vulnerability

Via Securiteam.com -

Phishing Protection takes Firefoxs security to a new level, helping to safeguard your financial information and protect you from identity theft. When you encounter a Web site that is a suspected forgery (known as a phishing site) Firefox will warn you and offer to take you to a search page so you can find the real Web site you were looking for.

A vulnerability in Firefox's Phishing protection allows people that conduct phishing to fool Firefox into thinking that the site is secure where in fact it should have been marked a phishing site.

The information has been provided by Kanedaaa. The original article can be found here.

This is the second flaw found by SecuriTeam in Firefox.

At this time, there has been no news of a fix from the Firefox team.
