Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 83
Firefox ESR versions prior to 78.5
Thunderbird versions prior to 78.5
Description
The issue arises when a user types their password and uses the "Show Password" feature on a website, which changes the password field into a textbook field, revealing the typed password. If a software keyboard that remembers user input is used, the change in the password field type can result in a keyboard layout change, allowing the software keyboard to remember the typed password.

For Firefox ESR versions prior to 78.5, update to version 78.5 or later to resolve the issue.
