Descriptions

Mozilla Firefox before 2.0.0.13 and SeaMonkey before 1.1.9, when generating the HTTP Referer header, does not list the entire URL when it contains Basic Authentication credentials without a username, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass application protection mechanisms that rely on Referer headers, such as with some Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) mechanisms.

Mozilla Firefox versiones anteriores a 2.0.0.13 y SeaMonkey versiones anteriores a 1.1.9, cuando generan las cabeceras HTTP Referer, no listan la URL entera cuando contienen credenciales de autenticación básicas sin un nombre de usuario, lo cual hace más fácil a atacantes remotos evitar los mecanismos de protección de aplicaciones que dependen de la cabecera Referer, como con algunos mecanismos de falsificación de petición en sitios cruzados (CSRF).
