Description

The (1) Password Manager in Mozilla Firefox 2.0, and 1.5.0.8 and earlier; and the (2) Passcard Manager in Netscape 8.1.2 and possibly other versions, do not properly verify that an ACTION URL in a FORM element containing a password INPUT element matches the web site for which the user stored a password, which allows remote attackers to obtain passwords via a password INPUT element on a different web page located on the web site intended for this password.

Affected products

Mozilla Firefox: through 1.5.0.8; 1.5, 1.5-beta1, 1.5-beta2, 1.5.0.1, 1.5.0.2, 1.5.0.3 (+5)
