CVE-2018-5152
For example, this allows for the interception of username and an encrypted password during login to Firefox Accounts.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.63%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
WebExtensions with the appropriate permissions can attach content scripts to Mozilla sites such as accounts.firefox.com and listen to network traffic to the site through the "webRequest" API. For example, this allows for the interception of username and an encrypted password during login to Firefox Accounts. This issue does not expose synchronization traffic directly and is limited to the process of user login to the website and the data displayed to the user once logged in. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 60.
