Pending analysis
Type:
CWE-295
Improper Certificate Validation
Publication date:

Last modified:

Description
The error page for sites with invalid TLS certificates was missing the<br />
activation-delay Firefox uses to protect prompts and permission dialogs<br />
from attacks that exploit human response time delays. If a malicious<br />
page elicited user clicks in precise locations immediately before<br />
navigating to a site with a certificate error and made the renderer<br />
extremely busy at the same time, it could create a gap between when<br />
the error page was loaded and when the display actually refreshed.<br />
With the right timing the elicited clicks could land in that gap and <br />
activate the button that overrides the certificate error for that site. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR
