Package: perspectives-extension
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Control: fixed -1 4.3.6-1
Control: forwarded -1 https://github.com/danwent/Perspectives/issues/87

The current flaw (triggered by a non-default setup by the user) can make
the browser basically trust any certificate. The risk to the user is, in
the worst conditions, to believe they are exchanging data with a trusted
organization, while in fact the certificate had been e.g. deactivated
(and thus facilitate MITM-attacks).

It does require a very unusual configuration, but with such a
configuration completely undermines the security model perspectives
attempts to provide.

More information is available of the upstream website:
