When a new protocol handler is registered, the API accepts a title argument which can be used to mislead users about which domain is registering the new protocol. This may result in the user approving a protocol handler that they otherwise would not have. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 63.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
