Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Brave Desktop Browser up to 1.70.116/1.74.47. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects an unknown function. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a ui layer vulnerability. The CWE definition for the vulnerability is CWE-1021. The web application does not restrict or incorrectly restricts frame objects or UI layers that belong to another application or domain, which can lead to user confusion about which interface the user is interacting with. As an impact it is known to affect integrity. CVE summarizes:

On most desktop platforms, Brave Browser versions 1.70.x-1.73.x included a feature to show a site's origin on the OS-provided file selector dialog when a site prompts the user to upload or download a file. However the origin was not correctly inferred in some cases. When combined with an open redirector vulnerability on a trusted site, this could allow a malicious site to initiate a download whose origin in the file select dialog appears as the trusted site which initiated the redirect.
