CVE-2025-27426: Firefox Mobile iOS Full Address Bar Spoof Using Server-Side Redirect to internal error page
Malicious websites utilizing a server-side redirect to an internal error page could result in a spoofed website URL. This vulnerability was fixed in Firefox for iOS 136.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
A malicious site could make Firefox for iOS show a misleading address after a redirect to an internal error page. The main business risk is phishing: users may trust the address bar and enter credentials or sensitive information. Mozilla says this was fixed in Firefox for iOS 136.
Executive priority
Treat this as a moderate user-trust and phishing risk, not a server compromise issue. Prioritize routine mobile browser update enforcement and user-awareness controls, especially for executives and staff using Firefox on iOS.
Technical view
CVE-2025-27426 is a Firefox for iOS address bar spoofing issue involving a server-side redirect to an internal error page. It is associated with CWE-601 and has CVSS 5.4. The source data indicates user interaction is required and confidentiality and integrity impact are low.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to Firefox for iOS installations where the Mozilla-fixed release is not confirmed. The provided data does not enumerate all affected prior builds, and contains limited version detail beyond the fix in Firefox for iOS 136.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. Plausible abuse is phishing or trust deception after a user visits a malicious website. No exploit details are needed to assess risk.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports address bar spoofing through redirect handling into an internal error page. The public bundle does not provide exploit status, detailed affected-version ranges, or additional mitigations beyond Mozilla's fixed version. Avoid assuming impact outside Firefox for iOS.
Mitigation direction
Confirm Firefox for iOS is updated to Mozilla's fixed release, version 136.
Use mobile device management to enforce browser update compliance where possible.
Warn users about credential prompts following unexpected redirects or browser error pages.
Monitor Mozilla advisories for any corrected affected-version details or follow-up guidance.
Validation and detection
Inventory managed iOS devices for Firefox for iOS version status.
Verify Firefox for iOS installations are at version 136 or a later maintained release.
Check phishing reports for suspicious redirects involving Firefox for iOS users.
Review mobile management exceptions for users allowed to delay browser updates.
