2 security issues in forky high

There are 2 open security issues in forky.

2 important issues:
  • CVE-2026-18487: A flaw was found in Epiphany. An issue in how the browser reads web addresses allows attackers to fake the domain name shown in the address bar. If a user clicks a specially crafted link containing a colon (for example, [https://trusted.com:80@attacker.com/](https://trusted.com:80@attacker.com/)), the address bar and security menus will display the safe website (trusted.com) but it will actually load the attacker website (attacker.com) on the screen. This allows attackers to create convincing phishing pages to trick users into trusting a malicious site.
  • CVE-2026-77682:

This allows attackers to create convincing phishing pages to trick users into trusting a malicious site.
  • CVE-2026-77682:
2 issues postponed or untriaged:
  • CVE-2025-3839: (postponed; to be fixed through a stable update) A flaw was found in Epiphany, a tool that allows websites to open external URL handler applications with minimal user interaction. This design can be misused to exploit vulnerabilities within those handlers, making them appear remotely exploitable. The browser fails to properly warn or gate this action, resulting in potential code execution on the client device via trusted UI behavior.
  • CVE-2023-26081: (needs triaging) In Epiphany (aka GNOME Web) through 43.0, untrusted web content can trick users into exfiltrating passwords, because autofill occurs in sandboxed contexts.
