Phishing by Navigating Browser Tabs
None
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.
