#CVE-2021-29973: Password autofill on HTTP websites was enabled without user interaction on Android
- Reporter
- Wladimir Palant working with Include Security
- Impact
- moderate
Description
Password autofill was enabled without user interaction on insecure websites on Firefox for Android. This was corrected to require user interaction with the page before a user's password would be entered by the browser's autofill functionality.
This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.

#CVE-2021-29974: HSTS errors could be overridden when network partitioning was enabled
- Reporter
- Peter Gerber
- Impact
- moderate
Description
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.

- Reporter
- Irvan Kurniawan
- Impact
- moderate
Description
Through a series of DOM manipulations, a message, over which the attacker had control of the text but not HTML or formatting, could be overlaid on top of another domain (with the new domain correctly shown in the address bar) resulting in possible user confusion.

#CVE-2021-29976: Memory safety bugs fixed in Firefox 90 and Firefox ESR 78.12
- Reporter
- Mozilla developers
- Impact
- high
Description
Mozilla developers Emil Ghitta, Tyson Smith, Valentin Gosu, Olli Pettay, and Randell Jesup reported memory safety bugs present in Firefox 89 and Firefox ESR 78.11. Some of these bugs showed evidence of memory corruption and we presume that with enough effort some of these could have been exploited to run arbitrary code.
