Hi, The following vulnerability was published for epiphany-browser. CVE-2026-18487[0]: | 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:[email protected]/](https://t | rusted.com:[email protected]/)), 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. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
