CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/287.html

Mozilla Firefox before 3.0.11, Thunderbird before 2.0.0.22, and SeaMonkey before 1.1.17 use the HTTP Host header to determine the context of a document provided in a non-200 CONNECT response from a proxy server, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary web script by modifying this CONNECT response, aka an SSL tampering attack.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
