Description
The Private Internet Access Extension for Firefox contains an unguarded onAuthRequired authentication handler, leading to leakage of PIA proxy credentials when a user visits any malicious website that issues a Basic auth challenge. This issue was fixed in version 3.2.5, but reintroduced in later versions.
