1) Spoofing attack (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15682)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect processing of user-supplied data. When a link to an external protocol was clicked, a prompt was presented

attacker could induce that prompt to be associated with an origin they
didn't control, resulting in a spoofing attack.
