Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insufficiently Protected Credentials. The implementation of Content Security Policy (CSP) violation reports in Mozilla Firefox 4.x through 5, SeaMonkey 2.x before 2.3, and possibly other products does not remove proxy-authorization credentials from the listed request headers, which allows attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading a report, related to incorrect host resolution that occurs with certain redirects.
