Descriptions

If an HTTP authentication prompt is triggered by a background network request from a page or extension, it is displayed over the currently loaded foreground page. Although the prompt contains the real domain making the request, this can result in user confusion about the originating site of the authentication request and may cause users to mistakenly send private credential information to a third party site. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.

Si una petición de autenticación HTTP es activada por una petición de red en segundo plano desde una página o extensión, se muestra sobre la página en primer plano cargada actualmente. Aunque el menaje contiene el dominio real que realiza la petición, esto puede provocar confusión en el usuario sobre el sitio de origen de la petición de autenticación y puede hacer que los usuarios envíen erróneamente información de credenciales privadas a un sitio externo. Esta vulnerabilidad afecta a las versiones anteriores a la 58 de Firefox.
