This security issue affected F-Secure SAFE browser for Android versions up to and including 18.6, and was disclosed on April 14, 2022 (F-Secure Advisory).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from an implementation flaw in the browser's URL display mechanism where it fails to show the complete URL in the address bar, particularly omitting port numbers.
