Mozilla Firefox before 38.0 does not recognize a referrer policy delivered by a referrer META element in cases of context-menu navigation and middle-click navigation, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by reading web-server Referer logs that contain private data in a URL, as demonstrated by a private path component.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older Firefox versions could ignore a page's referrer policy for context-menu and middle-click navigation. A user visiting a private URL could unintentionally disclose that URL path to another site's web-server logs through the Referer header. Exposure is mainly legacy Firefox before 38.0, including downstream OS packages. Risk rises for applications that place private data, tokens, or sensitive path components in URLs and rely on referrer policy to suppress leakage. Treat as a legacy information-disclosure issue. It is not shown as actively exploited, but it can expose private URL data through logs. Prioritize remediation where old browsers or sensitive URLs remain in use. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Firefox to 38.0 or a vendor-fixed package.; Review Mozilla and OS vendor advisories for affected package versions.; Remove sensitive data from URLs where practical..
