CVE-2019-11743
This resulted in potential cross-origin information exposure of history through timing side-channel attacks.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.80%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Navigation events were not fully adhering to the W3C's "Navigation-Timing Level 2" draft specification in some instances for the unload event, which restricts access to detailed timing attributes to only be same-origin. This resulted in potential cross-origin information exposure of history through timing side-channel attacks. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 69, Thunderbird < 68.1, Thunderbird < 60.9, Firefox ESR < 60.9, and Firefox ESR < 68.1.
