MetricsAV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Firefox versions prior to 123
Description The fetch() API and navigation incorrectly shared the same cache, as the cache key did not include the optional headers fetch() may contain. Under the correct circumstances, an attacker may have been able to poison the local browser cache by priming it with a fetch() response controlled by the additional headers. Upon navigation to the same URL, the user would see the cached response instead of the expected response.
Recommendations For Firefox versions prior to 123, update to a version that includes the fix for this issue to prevent cache poisoning attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the fetch() API or restricting its use until a patch is available. Avoid using the fetch() API with optional headers that may be controlled by an attacker.
