Technical details

An information disclosure vulnerability exists in the Avira Password Manager extension when used with Mozilla Firefox. The root cause is incorrect autofill field selection logic, which fails to properly isolate parent page fields from cross-origin iframes. A remote attacker can host a malicious page that embeds a target site within an iframe; if the user has credentials saved for the parent site, the extension may incorrectly autofill those credentials into fields controlled by the attacker's iframe. This bypasses the Same-Origin Policy (SOP) for credential handling, allowing for the silent extraction of sensitive login data. The vulnerability affects users on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
