CVE-2021-29974 (GCVE-0-2021-29974)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-08-05 19:46 – Updated: 2024-08-03 22:24
VLAI?
Summary
When network partitioning was enabled, e.g. as a result of Enhanced Tracking Protection settings, a TLS error page would allow the user to override an error on a domain which had specified HTTP Strict Transport Security (which implies that the error should not be override-able.) This issue did not affect the network connections, and they were correctly upgraded to HTTPS automatically. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 90.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
CWE
