A 10-year-old vulnerability in browser handling of Right-to-Left (RTL) scripts can be exploited to create “BiDi Swap” URLs, which appear trustworthy but lead to malicious sites. This attack is similar to past Unicode-based tricks, such as Punycode Homograph Attacks and RTL Override Exploits.
In this simplified version:
* The text is reorganized for clarity and concision.
* Technical jargon is explained in simpler terms.
* Key points are highlighted for easier understanding.
* Examples and explanations of the BiDi Swap attack are included.
