CVE-2020-6812
Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or microphone permission are able to enumerate device names, disclosing the user's name.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
The first time AirPods are connected to an iPhone, they become named after the user's name by default (e.g. Jane Doe's AirPods.) Websites with camera or microphone permission are able to enumerate device names, disclosing the user's name. To resolve this issue, Firefox added a special case that renames devices containing the substring 'AirPods' to simply 'AirPods'. This vulnerability affects Thunderbird < 68.6, Firefox < 74, Firefox < ESR68.6, and Firefox ESR < 68.6.
