Security: Basic Authentication prompt can hide the Fullscreen Warning

Reported by chromium...@gmail.com, Mar 1 2018

Issue description

VERSION
Chrome Version: 66.0.3357.0 (Official Build) canary (64-bit)
Operating System: Mac

This is similar to issue 812060.

I have another test case with more convincing with using HTTP Basic Auth – e.g. It could trick users into thinking they're on https://api.stripe.com when they're actually on the testcase page (I think most users probably look at the omnibox, also, the HTTP Basic Auth hides fullscreen notification with "sign in https://api.stripe.com"). Since users could enter private info to https://api.stripe.com properties (e.g. login credentials) which could get stolen by this faker domain, this seems like a Medium security issue.

The POC causes a script error; it needs .webkitRequestFullscreen I believe.

I'm not exactly clear on your attack scenario; if a user types their credentials into the HTTP auth dialog, those are conveyed to the legitimate (api.stripe.com) domain.

So I think this boils down to the same "dialogs should cause exit of full-screen, otherwise the YouHaveGoneFullScreen notice can get overlapped" bug of which there are four or five copies now.
Summary: Security: Basic Authentication prompt can hide the Fullscreen Warning (was: Security: Addressbar spoofing)
