When the proxy configuration changes (e.g., via system settings or WPAD), cached Proxy-Authorization headers from the previous proxy are sent to the new proxy, leaking credentials.

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

SoupAuthManager caches proxy authentication credentials without scoping them to the proxy authority (host:port). When the proxy configuration changes (e.g., via system settings or WPAD), cached Proxy-Authorization headers from the previous proxy are sent to the new proxy, leaking credentials.
