Description
When a CalDAV or ICS calendar was accessed through an HTTP proxy that requested authentication, Thunderbird could answer the proxy with the calendar server's username and password. This affected both setting up a new calendar and syncing existing calendars, where a saved password could be sent without any user interaction. A malicious or compromised proxy could use this to obtain the calendar credentials, even for calendars served over HTTPS. This vulnerability was fixed in Thunderbird 160 and Thunderbird 153.7.
