A custom cursor defined by scripting on a site can position itself over the addressbar to spoof the actual cursor when it should not be allowed outside of the primary web content area. This could be used by a malicious site to trick users into clicking on permission prompts, doorhanger notifications, or other buttons inadvertently if the location is spoofed over the user interface. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 67.

- →A malicious site uses a scripted custom CSS cursor positioned outside the primary web content area, overlapping the browser address bar or UI elements (permission prompts, doorhanger notifications) to spoof the real cursor and trick user clicks. ↗
- →Target Firefox versions strictly below 67 are vulnerable; presence of Firefox < 67 in the environment indicates exposure to this cursor-spoofing UI redress attack. ↗
- ·The vulnerability is scoped as local exploitation; the fix was shipped in Firefox 67.0-2 on Debian sid. Environments still running Firefox < 67 remain exposed. ↗
