CVE-2020-6824 is fixed in 4 products on 2 platforms, first by firefox 75.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, released April 6, 2020. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
Initially, a user opens a Private Browsing Window and generates a password for a site, then closes the Private Browsing Window but leaves Firefox open. Subsequently, if the user had opened a new Private Browsing Window, revisited the same site, and generated a new password - the generated passwords would have been identical, rather than independent. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 75.
