NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream webkitgtk4-devel package and not the webkitgtk4-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 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.
