User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information vulnerability in the address bar of Danyil Vasilenkos Bolt Browser allows an attacker to obfuscate the true source of data as presented in the browser. This issue affects the Bolt Browser version 1.4 and prior versions.

Weakness

The user interface (UI) does not properly represent critical information to the user, allowing the information - or its source - to be obscured or spoofed. This is often a component in phishing attacks.

Affected Software

Name Vendor Start Version End Version
Bolt_browser Boltbrowser * 1.4 (including)

Extended Description

If an attacker can cause the UI to display erroneous data, or to otherwise convince the user to display information that appears to come from a trusted source, then the attacker could trick the user into performing the wrong action. This is often a component in phishing attacks, but other kinds of problems exist. For example, if the UI is used to monitor the security state of a system or network, then omitting or obscuring an important indicator could prevent the user from detecting and reacting to a security-critical event. UI misrepresentation can take many forms:
