MediumMetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Firefox versions prior to 84
Description
The issue occurs when a HTTPS page is embedded in a HTTP page and a service worker is registered for the secure page. In such cases, the service worker could intercept the request for the secure page, despite the iframe not being a secure context due to the insecure framing.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 84, update to version 84 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling service workers for secure pages embedded in insecure contexts until a patch is available. Restrict access to sensitive information on secure pages to minimize the risk of exploitation.
