VectorAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox for Android versions prior to 89
Description The issue is related to how Firefox for Android handles HTTP Authentication dialogs. A malicious website could trigger an HTTP Authentication dialog, potentially causing the built-in password manager to suggest passwords for the wrong website. This could allow a remote attacker to access confidential data. The estimated number of potentially affected devices is not specified.
Recommendations For Firefox for Android versions prior to 89, update to version 89 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider avoiding the use of the built-in password manager for HTTP Authentication dialogs until the update is applied.
