CVE-2017-1000025

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=752738
The page http://whatever.com has access to saved passwords of https://whatever.com. This was a very bad idea: it makes it easy to intercept passwords stored on secure websites, especially since we don't require any user interaction to fill in the password.
