CVE-2018-5115 is fixed in 4 products on 1 platform, first by firefox 59.0.1+build1-0ubuntu1, released June 11, 2018. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine.
If an HTTP authentication prompt is triggered by a background network request from a page or extension, it is displayed over the currently loaded foreground page. Although the prompt contains the real domain making the request, this can result in user confusion about the originating site of the authentication request and may cause users to mistakenly send private credential information to a third party site. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 58.
