CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/281.html

A bug in popup notifications interaction with WebAuthn made it easier for an attacker to trick a user into granting permissions. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 126, Firefox ESR < 115.11, and Thunderbird < 115.11.

Weakness

The product does not preserve permissions or incorrectly preserves permissions when copying, restoring, or sharing objects, which can cause them to have less restrictive permissions than intended.
