Vulnerability Details
Hi team, I was create a PR on github https://github.com/liberapay/liberapay.com/pull/1127 ### Details Opened windows through normal hrefs with target="_blank" can modify window.opener.location and replace the parent webpage with something else, even on a different origin. While this doesn't allow script execution, it does allow phishing attacks that silently replace the parent tab. Hope you will not close it as `N/A` Thinking about resolve.Approve the PR. Thanks, @4w3 ## Impact If the links lack of rel="noopener noreferrer" attribute, third party site can change the URL of source tab using window.opener.location.assign and trick the user as if he is still in a trusted page and lead him to enter his secret information or credentials to this malicious copy.
