A crafted website can spoof the address bar in iOS Mail via the Mail Message Framework, addressed in iOS 11.2.
Vulnerability
The vulnerability exists in the Mail Message Framework component of iOS versions prior to 11.2. A remote attacker can craft a malicious website that, when viewed in the Mail app, spoofs the address bar, making the site appear to be from a different origin.
Exploitation
An attacker needs to host a specially crafted website and lure the victim to view it in the Mail app on an affected iOS device. No additional authentication is required, and the attack can be performed remotely without user interaction beyond viewing the site.
Impact
Successful exploitation allows the attacker to spoof the address bar, potentially tricking the user into trusting a malicious site and disclosing sensitive information such as credentials.
Mitigation
Apple addressed the issue in iOS 11.2, released on December 2, 2017 [2]. Users should update to iOS 11.2 or later. No other workarounds are available.
