The security issue is caused due to an error when opening a new window for a malformed domain. This can be exploited to display an arbitrary URL in the address bar of a child window by issuing a "window.open()" call with a domain containing e.g. "%20" characters. The security issue is confirmed in version 3.0.12 and 3.5.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links.
