Hello list! I want to warn you about Certificate Spoofing in Google Chrome for Android. This vulnerability is low risk, but can be used by phishers for stealing certificates from legitimate sites for conducting phishing attacks. ------------------------- Affected products: ------------------------- Vulnerable are Google Chrome for Android 2.3.3 and previous versions (and possibly next versions). ---------- Details: ---------- Certificate Spoofing (WASC-12): It's possible to use certificates from other sites via iframe (so I called this attack as Certificate Stealing). At that it's possible to do that not only for https, but for http sites. As you can see from my screenshots, http site (mine) got certificate from https site (of Google).

I mentioned about this vulnerability at my site (http://websecurity.com.ua/5587/).
