CVE-2017-7817
A spoofing vulnerability can occur when a page switches to fullscreen mode without user notification, allowing a fake address bar to be displayed.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.14%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

This allows an attacker to spoof which page is actually loaded and in use. Note: This attack only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are not affected.
