About this tag
The ui security tag on WindowsForum.com covers vulnerabilities and flaws that affect the security of user interfaces in software, particularly web browsers and industrial control systems. Discussions include CSRF weaknesses in OpenPLC_v3's web UI, UI spoofing issues in Chromium's SplitView and Toolbar features (CVE-2025-12446, CVE-2025-9865), and local privilege escalation via Windows DWM Core Library (CVE-2025-53801).
