Vulnerabilities (CVE)

Opera 7.51 for Windows and 7.50 for Linux does not properly prevent a frame in one domain from injecting content into a frame that belongs to another domain, which facilitates web site spoofing and other attacks, aka the frame injection vulnerability.

Buffer overflow in Opera 6.05 and 6.06, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a URL with a long username.

The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Epiphany allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

Opera before 7.54 allows remote attackers to modify properties and methods of the location object and execute Javascript to read arbitrary files from the client's local filesystem or display a false URL to the user.

Opera 8.01, when the "Arial Unicode MS" font (ARIALUNI.TTF) is installed, does not properly handle extended ASCII characters in the file download dialog box, which allows remote attackers to spoof file extensions and possibly trick users into executing arbitrary code.

The International Domain Name (IDN) support in Firefox 1.0, Camino .8.5, and Mozilla before 1.7.6 allows remote attackers to spoof domain names using punycode encoded domain names that are decoded in URLs and SSL certificates in a way that uses homograph characters from other character sets, which facilitates phishing attacks.

Opera allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory reference and application crash) via a web page or HTML email that contains a TBODY tag with a large COL SPAN value, as demonstrated by mangleme.

Opera 8.02 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (client crash) via (1) a crafted HTML file with a "content: url(0);" style attribute, a "bodyA" tag, a long string, and a "u" tag with a long attribute, as demonstrated by opera.html; and (2) a BGSOUND element with a "margin:-99;" STYLE attribute.

Opera offers an Open button to verify that a user wishes to execute a downloaded file, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to construct a race condition that tricks a user into clicking Open via a request for a different mouse or keyboard action very shortly before the Open dialog appears. NOTE: this is a different issue than CVE-2005-2407.

Opera before 8.50 allows remote attackers to spoof the content type of files via a filename with a trailing "." (dot), which might allow remote attackers to trick users into processing dangerous content.

Buffer overflow in Opera 7.02 Build 2668 allows remote attackers to crash Opera via a long HTTP request ending in a .ZIP extension.

Opera 7.54 and earlier on Gentoo Linux uses an insecure path for plugins, which could allow local users to gain privileges by inserting malicious libraries into the PORTAGE_TMPDIR (portage) temporary directory.

Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Opera 8.50 on Linux and Windows have unknown impact and attack vectors, related to (1) " handling of must-revalidate cache directive for HTTPS pages" or (2) a "display issue with cookie comment encoding."

Argument injection vulnerability in Opera before 7.50 does not properly filter "-" characters that begin a hostname in a telnet URI, which allows remote attackers to insert options to the resulting command line and overwrite arbitrary files via (1) the "-f" option on Windows XP or (2) the "-n" option on Linux.

Opera 7.54 and earlier does not properly limit an applet's access to internal Java packages from Sun, which allows remote attackers to gain sensitive information, such as user names and the installation directory.

Opera Web Browser 7.0 through 7.23 allows remote attackers to trick users into executing a malicious file by embedding a CLSID in the file name, which causes the malicious file to appear as a trusted file type, aka "File Download Extension Spoofing."

Integer overflow in Opera 8.54 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a JPEG image with large height and width values, which causes less memory to be allocated than intended.

A race condition in Opera web browser 7.53 Build 3850 causes Opera to fill in the address bar before the page has been loaded, which allows remote attackers to spoof the URL in the address bar via the window.open and location.replace HTML parameters, which facilitates phishing attacks.

Opera 7.50 and earlier allows remote web sites to provide a "Shortcut Icon" (favicon) that is wider than expected, which could allow the web sites to spoof a trusted domain and facilitate phishing attacks using a wide icon and extra spaces.

Opera 8.01 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a crafted JPEG image, as demonstrated using random.jpg.

Opera 8.01 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or modify which files are uploaded by tricking a user into dragging an image that is a "javascript:" URI.

A design error in Opera 8.01 and earlier allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code by overlaying a malicious new window above a file download dialog box, then tricking the user into double-clicking on the "Run" button, aka "link hijacking".

Opera Mini for Android below 53.1 displays URL left-aligned in the address field. This allows a malicious attacker to craft a URL with a long domain name, e.g. www.safe.opera.com.attacker.com. With the URL being left-aligned, the user will only see the front part (e.g. www.safe.opera.com…) The exact amount depends on the phone screen size but the attacker can craft a number of different domains and target different phones. Starting with version 53.1 Opera Mini displays long URLs with the top-lev ... Opera Mini for Android below 53.1 displays URL left-aligned in the address field. This allows a malicious attacker to craft a URL with a long domain name, e.g. www.safe.opera.com.attacker.com. With the URL being left-aligned, the user will only see the front part (e.g. www.safe.opera.com…) The exact amount depends on the phone screen size but the attacker can craft a number of different domains and target different phones. Starting with version 53.1 Opera Mini displays long URLs with the top-level domain label aligned to the right of the address field which mitigates the issue.

URLs using “javascript:” have the protocol removed when pasted into the address bar to protect users from cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, but in certain circumstances this removal was not performed. This could allow users to be socially engineered to run an XSS attack against themselves. This vulnerability affects Opera for Android versions below 61.0.3076.56532.

Opera Touch for iOS before version 2.4.5 is vulnerable to an address bar spoofing attack. The vulnerability allows a malicious page to trick the browser into showing an address of a different page. This may allow the malicious page to impersonate another page and trick a user into providing sensitive data.

Opera for Android before 54.0.2669.49432 is vulnerable to a sandboxed cross-origin iframe bypass attack. By using a service working inside a sandboxed iframe it is possible to bypass the normal sandboxing attributes. This allows an attacker to make forced redirections without any user interaction from a third-party context.

Opera Mini for Android allows attackers to bypass intended restrictions on .apk file download/installation via an RTLO (aka Right to Left Override) approach, as demonstrated by misinterpretation of malicious%E2%80%AEtxt.apk as maliciouskpa.txt. This affects 44.1.2254.142553, 44.1.2254.142659, and 44.1.2254.143214.

The Opera Mini application through 16.0.14 for iOS has a UXSS vulnerability that can be triggered by performing navigation to a javascript: URL.

Opera through 53 on Android allows Address Bar Spoofing. Characters from several languages are displayed in Right-to-Left order, due to mishandling of several Unicode characters. The rendering mechanism, in conjunction with the "first strong character" concept, may improperly operate on a numerical IP address or an alphabetic string, leading to a spoofed URL.

In the WebRTC component in Opera 51.0.2830.55, after visiting a web site that attempts to gather complete client information (such as https://ip.voidsec.com), the browser can disclose a private IP address in a STUN request.

Opera before 57.0.3098.106 is vulnerable to a DLL Search Order hijacking attack where an attacker can send a ZIP archive composed of an HTML page along with a malicious DLL to the target. Once the document is opened, it may allow the attacker to take full control of the system from any location within the system. The issue lies in the loading of the shcore.dll and dcomp.dll files: these files are being searched for by the program in the same system-wide directory where the HTML file is executed.
