# CVE-2021-23253: Opera Mini for Android below 53.1 displays URL left-aligned in the address field.

- Severity: no CVSS score reported
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2021-01-11 · Updated: 2024-08-03

## Affected

- n/a Opera Mini for Android: Below 53.1

## Description

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.
