Summary

When using a sandboxed Content Security Policy (CSP) or the HTML
"iframe" tag, the sandboxed web content was trusted by the
main/surrounding resource. After this change, however, the password
manager is disabled entirely in this situations, so that the
untrusted web content cannot exfiltrate passwords.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version
3.32.1.2-3~deb10u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your epiphany-browser packages.
