Firefox ESR and 1 other: One phishing tactic on the web is to provide a link with HTTP Auth.
CVE-2021-23972 is fixed in 4 products on 2 platforms, first by firefox 86.0+build3-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, released February 26, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
One phishing tactic on the web is to provide a link with HTTP Auth. For example 'https://www.phishingtarget.com@evil.com'. To mitigate this type of attack, Firefox will display a warning dialog; however, this warning dialog would not have been displayed if evil.com used a redirect that was cached by the browser. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 86.
