Lots of comments about whether or not the demo works consistently between browsers, but regardless, it's a cool attack vector, major props to the authors. Honestly surprised the Tor browser didn't just disable protocol handlers outright beforehand, seems like a vulnerability waiting to happen when you're that paranoid. I'm a bit confused about why so many applications have bothered to create custom protocol handlers. I can see the benefit for something like Spotify, you click a link in your browser and it takes you to the song you want in the Spotify application. But is the NordVPN application really so complex that they can't just say, "hey, open Nord and click this"? Just seems like an unnecessary UX decision. Unless there's something I'm not seeing?
