Overview

qutebrowser is a keyboard-driven, vim-like browser based on PyQt5.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Detection of Error Condition Without Action. Eeloading a page with certificate errors shows a green URL. After a certificate error was overridden by the user, qutebrowser displays the URL as yellow (colors.statusbar.url.warn.fg). However, when the affected website is subsequently loaded again, the URL is mistakenly displayed as green (colors.statusbar.url.success_https).
