Last modified
CVE-2024-8388 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.3/10 on the CVSS scale. Multiple prompts and panels from both Firefox and the Android OS could be used to obscure the notification announcing the transition to fullscreen mode after the fix for CVE-2023-6870 in Firefox 121. This could lead to spoofing the browser UI if the sudden appearance of the prompt distracted the user from noticing the visual transition happening behind the prompt. EPSS estimates a 0.34% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
