Robert Chapin has discovered a vulnerability in Firefox, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct phishing attacks.

The vulnerability is caused due to the Password Manager not properly

credentials into forms. This may be exploited to steal user
credentials via malicious forms in the same domain.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.0.0. Other versions may
also be affected.
