Saved-password disclosure via device-lock resume bypass
Published Nov 26, 2024 · Updated Dec 4, 2024
Authentication bypass in Firefox for Android before 133 allows physically proximate attackers to view saved passwords without a device PIN. The saved-password screen's resume handling allowed Android's Overview or Back action to dismiss the device-lock prompt and restore credential content. Exploitation requires physical interaction with an unlocked device containing saved passwords and exposes stored usernames and passwords.
