Re: [Full-disclosure] Mozilla Firefox Insecure Element Stealth Injection Vulnerability

[3APA3A <3APA3A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Michal Majchrowicz,

 This feature is not intended to protect against XSS, it's only intended
 to  inform  you  some  information is transmitted in cleartext. You can
 simply change

 src="http://server2.com/xss.js

 to

 src="https://server2.com/xss.js

 to avoid this message.
