Quasar Framework is a framework for building high-performance Vue.js user interfaces. Prior to 2.32.2, the openURL() utility in ui/src/utils/open-url/open-url.js trusted window.SafariViewController whenever that global existed in an iOS environment. Attacker-controlled HTML rendered by components such as QEditor can create a named SafariViewController element, causing browser named-property resolution to replace the expected native bridge object. A later openURL() call then invokes isAvailable() on the element, throws a TypeError, and disrupts external navigation, login redirects, payment redirects, and other URL-opening workflows. QSelect and QChatMessage HTML-rendering configurations can expose the same trigger when they render attacker-controlled HTML. This issue is fixed in version 2.32.2.
Weakness
The product allocates or initializes a resource such as a pointer, object, or variable using one type, but it later accesses that resource using a type that is incompatible with the original type.
Extended Description
When the product accesses the resource using an incompatible type, this could trigger logical errors because the resource does not have expected properties. In languages without memory safety, such as C and C++, type confusion can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. While this weakness is frequently associated with unions when parsing data with many different embedded object types in C, it can be present in any application that can interpret the same variable or memory location in multiple ways. This weakness is not unique to C and C++. For example, errors in PHP applications can be triggered by providing array parameters when scalars are expected, or vice versa. Languages such as Perl, which perform automatic conversion of a variable of one type when it is accessed as if it were another type, can also contain these issues.
