Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox for Android versions prior to 97
Description
The issue is related to the handling of USSD codes in tel: links. When a user clicks on such a link, USSD codes specified after a
* character are included in the phone number. This could potentially lead to actions being performed on a user's account, similar to a cross-site request forgery attack, on certain phones or with certain carriers.Recommendations
For Firefox for Android versions prior to 97, update to version 97 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding clicking on tel: links that may contain USSD codes specified after a
* character until the update is applied. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
