Last modified
CVE-2021-44683 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.2/10 on the CVSS scale. The DuckDuckGo browser 7.64.4 on iOS allows Address Bar Spoofing due to mishandling of the JavaScript window.open function (used to open a secondary browser window).

EPSS estimates a 0.96% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
