#CVE-2022-38474: Recording notification not shown when microphone was recording on Android

Reporter
Agi Sferro
Impact
low
Description

A website that had permission to access the microphone could record audio without the audio notification being shown. This bug does not allow the attacker to bypass the permission prompt - it only affects the notification shown once permission has been granted.
This bug only affects Firefox for Android. Other operating systems are unaffected.
