If a user visited a webpage with an invalid TLS certificate, and granted an exception, the webpage was able to provide a WebAuthn challenge that the user would be prompted to complete. This is in violation of the WebAuthN spec which requires a secure transport established without errors. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 140 and Thunderbird < 140.
Weakness
The product does not validate, or incorrectly validates, a certificate.
