How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:12 webkit2gtk to version 2.24.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream webkit2gtk package and not the webkit2gtk package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:12 relevant fixed versions and status.

WebKitGTK and WPE WebKit prior to version 2.24.1 are vulnerable to address bar spoofing upon certain JavaScript redirections. An attacker could cause malicious web content to be displayed as if for a trusted URI. This is similar to the CVE-2018-8383 issue in Microsoft Edge.
