Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to User Interface (UI) Misrepresentation of Critical Information due to multiple prompts and panels from both Firefox and the Android OS. An attacker can spoof the browser UI by obscuring the notification announcing the transition to fullscreen mode, which could distract the user from noticing the visual transition happening behind the prompt.

Note: This is only exploitable on Android devices.
