 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3423-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Chris Lamb May 15, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : epiphany-browser Version : 3.32.1.2-3~deb10u3 CVE ID : CVE-2023-26081 Debian Bug : 1031727

 It was discovered that there was a potential credential stealing attack in epiphany-browser, the default GNOME web browser.

 When using a sandboxed Content Security Policy (CSP) or the HTML iframe tag, the sandboxed web content was trusted by the main/surrounding resource. After this change, however, the password manager is disabled entirely in this situations, so that the untrusted web content cannot exfiltrate passwords.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 3.32.1.2-3~deb10u3.

 We recommend that you upgrade your epiphany-browser packages.

 For the detailed security status of epiphany-browser please refer to its security tracker page at:
