CVE-2019-9803
Last modified
CVE-2019-9803 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Upgrade-Insecure-Requests (UIR) specification states that if UIR is enabled through Content Security Policy (CSP), navigation to a same-origin URL must be upgraded to HTTPS. Firefox will incorrectly navigate to an HTTP URL rather than perform the security upgrade requested by the CSP in some circumstances, allowing for potential man-in-the-middle attacks on the linked resources. EPSS estimates a 0.56% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
