Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Epiphany (aka GNOME Web) versions through 43.0

Description The issue allows untrusted web content to trick users into exfiltrating passwords because autofill occurs in sandboxed contexts. This is related to insufficient access control in the Epiphany web browser, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to disclose protected information.

Recommendations For Epiphany (aka GNOME Web) versions through 43.0, consider disabling the autofill feature in sandboxed contexts as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive information to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
